d) Additional information

The honey of arbutus ecological of the Antonio Simón or has been packed in a jar of crystal that when crystallizing can take in the surface white colors due to its natural crystallization. If we want to transform it into a liquid, we must put it in the bain-marie or in the microwave, although I recommend the bain-marie. Also, once liquid, store in a warm place to delay crystallization.

Finally, the honey is usually put two years of preferential consumption, but if well preserved, endures a lifetime. However, in the case of Madroño honey, it loses its bitterness over time.
