How to use Moroccan eucalyptus honey

Eucalyptus honey is widely used in oriental pastries, where its distinctive flavor enhances the taste of cakes.

It is also used to enhance savory dishes, an ideal blend of sweet and savory.

But if there's one use for eucalyptus honey, it's in herbal teas, where its minty aroma gives a soft, pleasant sensation.

We therefore recommend you use this honey in your herbal teas, but make sure they don't exceed 40 degrees, otherwise all the benefits of the honey will be in vain.

How to store honey

Keep it out of the sun, and away from any source 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. 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.
