Both have a smooth, creamy, spreadable texture that people love, and both are made from 100% Canadian honey sourced from our beekeeper-owners. However, there are a few key differences, beyond the packaging, that set them apart. - [How is creamed honey made?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/how-do-you-make-creamed-honey/): Contrary to its name, creamed honey doesn’t actually contain any cream. We also don’t add any additional ingredients to it. It’s simply honey that has undergone a special process to give it a smooth, spreadable texture. - [Why is honey pasteurized?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/why-pasteurize-honey/): Pasteurizing honey is different from pasteurizing dairy products, and it’s done for different reasons. Honey naturally has low moisture and high acidity, which prevents bacteria and harmful organisms from growing. Honey pasteurization involves rapidly heating the honey to around 160°F and then quickly cooling it. - [What is pasteurized and unpasteurized honey?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/what-is-pasteurized-and-unpasteurized-honey/): For pasteurized honey, we use a "flash heating" method, to minimize the amount of time that the honey is exposed to the heat and to reduce the risk of damaging or burning it. The honey is heated very quickly to about 160°F and then rapidly cooled, which will kill the yeast cells without damaging the product. This process is done on our production line during the packing procedure. - [If my honey is crystallized, is it still safe to use?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/if-my-honey-is-crystallized-is-it-still-safe-to-use/): Yes, it is still safe to use! – While honey doesn’t expire, it may change colour or crystallize over time (a result of honey’s unique floral sources and moisture composition). This is a normal, natural process that does not affect its quality – only its appearance. - [Is there a proper way to store my honey?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/is-there-a-proper-way-to-store-my-honey/): Proper storage can help your BeeMaid Honey stay fresh and flavourful. Here are a few tips for storing your honey: - [Why is my creamed honey firm?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/why-is-my-creamed-honey-hard/): There are two main reasons why your creamed honey might be firmer than usual: - [What certifications does BeeMaid Honey have?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/what-certifications-does-beemaid-honey-have/): At Bee Maid, we are committed to producing the highest quality honey. Our dedication to food safety and quality is backed by industry certifications, including SQF (Safe Quality Food), SFCR (Safe food for Canadians Regulation), HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points), and True Source. These certifications reflect our strict adherence to food safety protocols. In addition, BeeMaid Honey is gluten-free, kosher, halal and packed in a nut-free facility. - [How does BeeMaid ensure the honey is pure?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/how-does-beemaid-ensure-the-honey-is-pure/): We only source honey from our co-operative of local beekeepers. They harvest the honey and transport it to our packing facilities in Winnipeg, MB and Spruce Grove, AB. All incoming honey is tested upon arrival and during packing to ensure it meets the highest purity and quality standards. All BeeMaid Honey products are True Source Certified, meaning our honey is fully traceable from hive to table – ensuring it comes from ethical, transparent, and authentic sources. - [Why does honey vary in colour?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/why-does-honey-vary-in-colour/): The colour of honey can range from nearly clear to deep amber. It all comes down to where bees collect their nectar. - [How can I soften my creamed honey if it becomes hard?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/how-can-i-soften-my-creamed-honey-if-it-becomes-hard/): We understand having firm creamed honey isn’t always ideal when you open the container. Luckily, there are a few easy ways you can help your creamed honey soften! - [How can I restore my honey to its original liquid state?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/how-can-i-restore-my-honey-to-its-original-liquid-state/): While crystallization is normal, we understand it’s not always ideal.  - [Why does honey crystallize?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/why-does-honey-crystallize/): Crystallization is a natural process that happens over time.  Honey, being a natural product, can crystallize due to various factors such as temperature, air exposure, age, and the floral source from which it originates. In fact, it's a testament to the quality and purity of our honey, as it remains completely unaltered-nothing is added or removed. During crystallization, some of the molecules in honey separate from the liquid and form crystals that multiply rapidly, causing the honey to change into a solid form. Crystallization does not indicate that your honey has spoiled. - [If my honey is crystallized, is it still safe to use?](https://www.beemaid.com/faqs/if-my-honey-is-crystallized-is-it-still-safe-to-use-2/): Yes, it is still safe to use! – While honey doesn’t expire, it may change colour or crystallize over time (a result of honey’s unique floral sources and moisture composition).

As a co-operative, Bee Maid Honey handles the processing, packaging, and marketing of our beekeepers' honey.

Natural antimicrobial properties prevent bacteria from growing. "Best Before" dates on containers are inventory guidelines for retailers only — honey past the best before date remains safe to consume. **Why does honey crystallize?** Crystallization is a natural process caused by temperature, air exposure, age, and the floral source of the nectar. It is a sign of quality and purity, not spoilage. Crystallized honey is safe to eat. **How to restore crystallized liquid honey:** Place the bottle in a hot water bath between 130°F–140°F (54.4°C–60°C). Do not microwave, as this can damage quality and warp containers. **How to soften hard creamed honey:** Place the tub in a warm area of your home (e.g., near an oven). Natural softening can take 1–2 weeks. For quicker results, insert a knife up and down through the honey without stirring to break up the texture. **Why does honey colour vary?** Colour ranges from nearly clear to deep amber depending on the floral source, location, time of year, and moisture content. Clover honey tends to be light; buckwheat honey is much darker. Variation is natural and reflects the diversity of Canadian landscapes. **How does BeeMaid ensure purity?** All honey is sourced exclusively from cooperative beekeepers. It is laboratory tested upon arrival at the packing facility and again before and after filling. BeeMaid is True Source Certified, SQF Certified, HACCP Certified, and CFIA compliant. --- ## Recipes BeeMaid publishes a library of honey-forward recipes across the following categories: - Baked Goods (e.g., Montreal Bagels, Valentine's Day Sugar Cookies, Honey Pistachio Cake) - Appetizers & Side Dishes (e.g., Friday Honey Fig Flatbread, Honey Garlic Whipped Feta, Honey Strawberry Basil Bruschetta) - Breakfast, Dessert, and Seasonal/Holiday recipes Recipes are tagged with dietary labels including: Vegetarian, Dairy Free, Nut Free, Gluten Free.
