Very few bacteria or microorganisms can survive in an environment like that, they just die. Theyâre smothered by it, essentially.â What Harris points out represents an important feature of honeyâs longevity: for honey to spoil, there needs to be something inside of it that can spoil. With such an inhospitable environment, organisms canât survive long enough within the jar of honey to have the chance to spoil. Honey is also naturally extremely acidic. âIt has a pH that falls between 3 and 4.5, approximately, and that acid will kill off almost anything that wants to grow there,â Harris explains.
We often get calls when people discover their honey has darkened or crystallized. Improper storage of honey can cause this problem. Honey should be stored in a cool, dry area inside a tightly covered container. Over time the honey will darken and flavor will change but it will be safe to eat indefinitely. As it darkens, it may lose some flavor or become cloudy. As the honey becomes cloudy, you may even notice crystals in it. This will not make the honey unsafe as long as it has been stored properly. Honey stored in the refrigerator will crystallize more quickly. If your honey has crystallized, you can place the container in warm water and stir the honey until the crystals dissolve. Resist the urge to use boiling hot water to melt crystals as this can damage the color and flavor of the honey. If your honey foams or smells like alcohol, discard it as it has spoiled.
