Description

This honey goes by many different names: whipped honey, set honey, creamed honey, spun honey, aerated honey, crystallized honey, and honey fondant, but what’s in a name? That which we call our distinct creamy honey by any other name would taste as sweet.

Hand harvested, slow churned, manually prepared, and cold extracted creamed honey all maintain their original nutritional value in a thick consistency, like jam. Creamed honey is made by controlling the crystallization process to create a smooth and spreadable texture. The goal is to encourage the formation of fine crystals, resulting in a creamy and thick consistency. Whipped honey typically has a lighter color and has a softer, cloud-like, velvety texture and a delicate, subtle flavor.

The process in making crystallized honey involves selecting a batch of raw honey and gently stirring it which intentionally aerates the honey to create a light and fluffy texture. This stirring helps introduce air into the honey and distribute the existing honey crystals evenly throughout the product, creating a uniform texture. By controlling the temperature and humidity during the process, we can achieve the desired creamy consistency. The end result is a spun honey with a frothy and voluminous texture, similar to whipped cream or mousse that is easy to spread on toast, biscuits, or other foods.

One of the advantages of honey fondant is its stability. Unlike liquid honey, creamed honey is less likely to crystallize or separate over time due to its controlled crystallized structure. This makes it a preferred choice for consumers who enjoy a consistent texture and do not want to deal with liquid honey’s potential messiness. Aerated honey has a delicate and smooth mouthfeel, making it a popular choice for spreading on bread, pancakes, or adding to beverages like tea or coffee. Spun honey often has a mild flavor allowing the natural sweetness of the honey to shine through. Its thick nature allows creamed honey to rest on your tongue, giving your taste buds a chance to pick up on the nuances of the flavor.
