Unlike supermarket honey, which is often pasteurised and blended, raw honey varies with each season and batch, reflecting the forage of the bees and the uniqueness of its environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCrystallisation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike most honeys, Vanilla Fir honey rarely crystallises due to its very low glucose content. If it does set, simply place the jar in warm water to return it to a smooth texture.
