This natural nutritional and medicinal product has antibacterial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and is almost non-perishable.<\/p><p>Its main sugars are glucose and fructose.

Never use a microwave or direct fire.<\/p><p>Melted honey can re-crystallize which is a sign of quality and natural origin.<\/p><p><strong>\u00a0 What is honey cream?<\/strong><br \/>The honey cream is 100% natural honey with a fine, soft and thick consistency.<\/p><p>\u00a0<strong> Conclusion<\/strong><br \/>Crystallization is not a defect.
