Part 4/6:
The filtered honey then flows into settling tanks, where it rests for up to 48 hours. This resting period allows any remaining particles and air bubbles to naturally rise to the surface, ensuring clarity and purity. During this phase, quality control experts rigorously test the honey for moisture content, color, and overall purity to ensure it meets strict food safety standards.
Pasteurization for Longevity
Depending on the brand and product specifications, some honey undergoes pasteurization—a gentle re-heating process designed to eliminate yeast cells and extend shelf life. Importantly, this process is carefully regulated to maintain the honey’s nutritional integrity while enhancing storage stability.
