About this Honey

Not a floral variety, but a texture style. This honey has gone through a controlled crystallization process (Dyce method) to create very fine crystals. The result is a smooth, spreadable consistency like peanut butter. It is usually made from Clover or Canola honey and is perfect for spreading on toast without dripping.

The Story

Creamed honey bypasses standard fluid management through a highly controlled physical manipulation of glucose crystallization known as the Dyce method. A finely granulated starter honey is introduced into a liquefied clover or canola base, which is then systematically chilled and agitated at precisely 14°C to force the formation of billions of microscopic crystal nuclei. This process eliminates the growth of large, irregular, gritty shards, creating a perfectly uniform, stable micro-crystalline lattice that remains solid yet spreadable at room temperature. Because it does not shift or weep, this structured paste is an ideal functional asset for precise layering in high-end confectionery and no-drip laminations on artisan toast.
