• The next aspect is mass homogeneity. The consistency of honey should look like sour cream. If the mass is heterogeneous and exfoliated, then the seller is likely trying to sell a mixture of two varieties or a baked product.
• You can distinguish real honey from clover and taste. This is a sweet delicacy, but not cloying, in the taste there is a slight savory bitterness.
• The average cost of the product today is 500 rubles per kilogram. If the merchant offers this product at a low price, then this is a significant reason to be alerted.

Experienced beekeepers give useful recommendations about the proper storage conditions of sweet clover.

• If you want to eat liquid and stinging honey, then you need to eat the purchased product for a maximum of two months. Sweet clover has a tendency to accelerated sugaring. This is not a negative criterion, just some of its features. All benefits are preserved in the candied product.
• To keep all the useful substances as long as possible, honey must be stored at a temperature of +4 to +18 degrees. All benefits will disappear when stored at temperatures above +40 and below -35 degrees.

• It is better to take the products from the beekeeper, and not in the store, because when packed in cans, the honey mass is usually subjected to heat treatment.
• Before buying, read the certificate for honey products.
• Dip a tablespoon into the honey and try to turn it over. If honey is wound on it, then a natural product is in front of the buyer. If the mass quickly rolls, it is better to abandon the purchase.
• Immerse the spoon in the honey substance and remove. Real honey will drip from a spoon in the form of a heap or a ribbon.
• An unusual taste, a feeling of excessive bitterness, acid, and caramel aroma speaks about counterfeiting.
