I found a jar of honey hidden in the cellar with an expiration date of 5/2018. It's Swiss honey, which I usually buy at Migros. However, as I occasionally receive honey as a gift, the jar has moved to the back of my mind. Unfortunately, I would now like to know whether I can still eat it. Thank you very much and have a nice Sunday

A beekeeper once told me that you can keep honey for years. Why not, it's full of sugar, which preserves it. Just give it a try

Unopened honey is generally given a minimum shelf life of two years by the manufacturers. However, if the honey is stored optimally, this date says almost nothing. Honey can be kept practically indefinitely if stored correctly. There is nothing to stop you from enjoying unopened honey that has been stored correctly for 10 years or more. Of course, it should be checked before consumption, but if there are no visual signs of fermentation and it does not taste alcoholic, then it is still perfectly edible. Fermented honey can be identified by various characteristics: -- The lid bulges upwards -- Bubbles and foam form on the surface of the honey -- The honey first smells very fruity, then alcoholic and later musty Once the fermentation process has started, the honey should no longer be used as food. It should be disposed of at the latest when it starts to smell unpleasant.

Ticino, well written ? That's how I know it too. ?
Thank you very much for your information, I have now tried the honey. It tastes good. It's just a little grainy and very sweet. But according to your information, the honey should still be edible. So I will try to use it up as soon as possible. Have a nice evening together

Good evening alphabetta Place the jar in a bain-marie (water bath) and heat the honey slowly over a low heat. Not more than 40° C, otherwise the sensitive ingredients may be damaged. Stir a little while heating. best regards Frederica

Crystallization is not a problem. You can also eat it slowly. If you don't want to heat it in a bain-marie and don't like it that way - it's definitely good for cooking, baking or in tea. Or warm milk with honey?
