Pourquoi mon miel a-t-il cristallisé ?

La cristallisation est un phénomène naturel : avec le temps et le froid, le glucose du miel forme de petits cristaux. Elle ne change ni le goût ni la qualité, et c'est plutôt le signe d'un miel qui n'a pas été chauffé. Pour le rendre plus liquide, placez le pot ouvert au bain-marie tiède, sans dépasser 40 °C.

Comment conserver mon miel ?

À température ambiante, à l'abri de la lumière et de l'humidité, avec le couvercle bien fermé. Inutile de le mettre au réfrigérateur. Il se conserve 2 ans.

Comment savoir si votre miel est pur ?

Nos miels sont 100 % miel : rien n'y est ajouté (ni sirop, ni sucre, ni conservateur) et ils ne sont ni pasteurisés ni chauffés. Chaque pot provient d'une origine précise, indiquée sur la fiche : région de récolte et période de floraison.

Pourquoi la couleur ou la texture peut-elle varier d'un pot à l'autre ?

Chaque récolte dépend de la floraison et de la saison. Un miel brut, ni mélangé ni standardisé, peut légèrement changer de couleur et de texture d'une récolte à l'autre : c'est la marque d'un produit naturel.

Le miel convient-il aux jeunes enfants ?

Comme tout miel, il est déconseillé aux enfants de moins d'un an.

Description

Shea honey comes from the Atacora region, in north-western Benin. In these savannas, bees forage on the flowers of the shea tree during its blossoming, from March to June. The honey is harvested by local beekeepers and jarred as it is: never heated, never pasteurised, with nothing added.

This is the honey that won the Platinum medal at the London International Honey Awards 2026, awarded after a blind tasting by an international jury.

What you will taste

A deep amber colour and a dense, creamy texture that coats the spoon. On the palate, the honey is sweet at first, then reveals woody, lightly spiced notes with a long finish. A honey of character, for those who prefer deep flavours to simple sweetness.

How to enjoy it

Pure, by the spoonful, to appreciate it fully. With a mature cheese such as Comté or Fourme d’Ambert, or with foie gras. As a finishing touch in a stew, a sauce or a marinade. Or stirred into a warm infusion, below 40 °C to keep all its aromas.

Frequently asked questions

Why has my honey crystallised?

Crystallisation is a natural process: over time and in the cold, the glucose in honey forms small crystals. It changes neither the taste nor the quality, and is rather the sign of a honey that has not been heated. To make it more liquid, place the open jar in a warm water bath, without exceeding 40 °C.

How should I store my honey?

At room temperature, away from light and moisture, with the lid tightly closed. There is no need to refrigerate it. It keeps for 2 years.

How can I tell if your honey is pure?

Our honeys are 100% honey: nothing is added (no syrup, sugar or preservatives) and they are neither pasteurised nor heated. Each jar comes from a precise origin, shown on its product page: harvest region and blossoming period.

Why can the colour or texture vary from one jar to another?

Each harvest depends on the blossoming and the season. A raw honey, neither blended nor standardised, may change slightly in colour and texture from one harvest to the next: it is the mark of a natural product.

Is honey suitable for young children?

Like all honey, it is not recommended for children under one year old.

When will I receive my order?
