Made from the flowers of the acacia tree (Acacia tortilis), this honey is monofloral, and the tree is known by its name "acacia faux-gommier".

How to store Soumour honey

Keep out of direct sunlight and away from sources of heat.

Above 40 degrees, it will lose its therapeutic benefits and taste qualities.

It's also best not to store it in damp conditions, as a dry, well-insulated place is ideal.

Indeed, humidity greatly alters the quality of this honey by increasing its moisture content, which should not exceed 17-18%.

Above this humidity level, the honey's fermentation process would begin. Of course, we do not recommend consuming honey that has fermented, although there is no evidence that this is harmful to human health.

Your honey may crystallize, in which case a few minutes in a bain-marie will restore its natural liquid texture, without altering any of its intrinsic qualities.
