Is honey a premium product?

[fian]

what an absolute load of tripe

And what a pity that some forget that the guts were the path of intelligence throughout the evolution of man.

OK guys....cool it please
This thread started off in the Matrix and is fast disappearing down a Rabbit hole.
Just be nice

And one more reason.
I would teach my potential clients to make soft honey. I would put up for sale a pack of 1 jar of 1 pound of crystallized honey, 1 jar of 2 ounces of OSR honey, a clay glass of 1/2 liter-1 pint.

Fian is the new Finman, maybe one and the same?

 

[fian]

Finman was Finnish or at least that's what I understood when reading several of his old posts, I am Galician.
I don't know why there is an intention to underestimate my comments.
You may agree or not, I can accept justified retorts and a degree of British humour.

No Finaman never spoke so much crap and often made sense

Finnie made lots of sense...just rudely sometimes

A surprisingly intelligent comment in response to 'tripe'.

I remember when we had the butcher's shop and my grandfather once stating.
'no matter how much you wash it and tart it up with whatever - in the end, it's still tripe'

You can discuss guts or the purpose of the post.
A colleague has asked why I would only sell crystallized honey in the UK and I gave 4 reasons, even to resume the post, I developed one more. No one forces you to comment but it seems disingenuous to try to underestimate the opinions of others for free.

I've got a pretty short list of ignored posters but two of the names begin with F

I've been away a while. Did Finman pass away?

Last seen Monday morning.

Ah. All is well

I’m not sure. He’s not posting and not answering PMs.

Think we have to accept what sells in Spain isn't necessarily the same as we sell in UK. There are so many sources of forage that it is hard to avoid having honey that will chrystalise at some point throughout the year. Some buy set honey some dont its a fact of life not worth making a big issue about.

It is not necessarily a different product. I harvest once a year, so my honey is a mixture of what they have been accumulating. In my case, the chronological order would be fruit trees (stone, pip), bramble, chestnut, scrubland (uz, heather, gorse, dandelion, rosemary, thyme and other asteraceae). In general, monoflorals are usually associated with large monocultures.
The most divergent issue is whether honey crystallizes or not? Except for a year that crystallized very soon (one month), it usually takes more than 9 months.

Depends on the concentration of glucose in the honey.

Are you anywhere near the stringybark (e. obliqua) gum trees in Galicia?
