How Should Honey Be Packaged and Stored? Key Technical Points Explained
1. Packaging of honey. Honey is a weakly acidic liquid that can oxidize metals, so non-metallic containers such as vats, wooden barrels and plastic buckets should be used for packaging, and dedicated packaging containers must be thoroughly washed and dried. In areas with high honey yields, honey storage tanks can be established, and wooden barrels or water vats may also be used for storage; the barrels and vats used should be free of off-odours. Packaged honey must not fill the container completely; especially during transport, 25%-30% of the space should be left to prevent the honey from fermenting and overflowing, or from bursting the container when heated and shaken.
