Title: Creamed Honey
Post by: Blair Sampson on February 07, 2018, 05:52:15 pm

With plans to attempt making creamed honey for the first time, I have researched the process for the past several weeks. The processing step of heating to honey well above 100 degrees seems counter-productive consuming honey for health benefits. Question: are there options to this processing step? Can this step be eliminated? If so, what are the chances (%) of creamed honey fermenting? Can honey be heated to below 100degrees to achieve required results?

I'm interested as well! There may be more methods, I done a little bit of research into it and don't recall there being a heated step.

First read all this thread on creamed honey.

Yes creamed honey can be made with out pasteurizing it. Honey whether it is seeded to a fine creamed texture or left to crystallize naturally on its own is the same honey and storage of either products is the key factor. Moisture content, storage temperature, are the determining factors in honey fermentation.
