Mistakes to avoid when buying natural honey
Ximo Martínez PrimoThanks to my experience at Miel Mayem , I've seen how many consumers make the same mistakes when purchasing natural honey. That's why I want to share useful tips when choosing natural honey, so you can make the best purchasing decision and enjoy an authentic, high-quality product.
Not checking the origin or provenance of the honey
One of the common mistakes when purchasing honey is not paying attention to its origin. Origin is a crucial indicator of quality. In markets saturated with honey of unknown origin or imported honey, it is essential to opt for domestic products. Spanish artisanal honey, such as Miel Mayem , is obtained in areas recognized for their dedication to beekeeping, to guarantee the highest quality honey.
Buy honey with additives or without quality guarantee
There are some honey brands that use additives to "improve" the appearance or texture of their honey. Choosing this type of honey is another common mistake. Consumers should be wary of honey that isn't presented in its natural state. In this sense, another common mistake is being swayed by prices that are too low, as this usually indicates an adulterated or lower-quality product.
At Miel Mayem, we rely on traditional methods such as spoon-packing and artisanal selection , thus ensuring natural honey.
Neglecting the conservation of honey
Finally, another mistake is ignoring the storage and use instructions specified on the labels. To maintain honey's properties, it should be stored in a cool, dry place. It's also advisable to protect the jar from direct sunlight. Neglecting this can lead to a loss of its properties and nutrients.
In short, avoiding common mistakes when buying honey means being well-informed. Therefore, we recommend checking the origin, labeling, production process, and storage conditions of the honey you decide to buy. Only then can you ensure that every jar of honey you purchase offers quality and authenticity.
