Creamed honey, also known as whipped honey or spun honey, is a type of honey that has been specially processed to have a smooth and spreadable consistency. Here is some information on its specifications and appearance:
Specifications:
Color: Creamed honey typically has a light golden or off-white color, depending on the floral source of the honey.
Texture: It has a creamy and velvety texture, making it easy to spread on bread, toast, or other foods.
Taste: The taste of creamed honey is usually mild and sweet, with subtle floral notes.
Appearance:
Creamed honey has a thick and luxurious appearance, similar to whipped butter or soft margarine.
It is free from any crystallization or graininess, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a smooth and consistent texture.
One of the characteristics of raw honey is that over time it will crystalize. Some raw honey will crystalize quickly and some won’t crystalize for a year or more. There are many variables that contribute to how quickly raw honey crystalizes. Some of those variables are if the honey has been filtered or not and what temperatures the honey has been exposed to – before and after harvesting.
The difference between creamed honey and regular honey
The only difference between creamed honey and regular honey is texture. There is nothing added to creamed honey to make it creamy – to be clear there is no dairy in creamed honey.
What makes creamed honey creamy is the small glucose crystals. By breaking up large crystals and controlling the environment to encourage crystallization regular honey is turned into creamed honey.
