What is Soft Set Honey?

Creamed honey, also referred to as Soft Set honey, is crafted by bees in the spring and summer seasons. The distinctiveness of soft set honey lies in the meticulous stirring it undergoes for 2 to 5 days prior to being jarred, this reduces the size of the honey crystals resulting in a velvety and buttery texture that sets it apart from regular honey.
