We are often asked by our customers, “What is the difference between regular and creamed honey?” “How do you make it?” “What is it for?” This article explains all.
What is creamed honey made from?
Creamed honey, also known whipped honey or spun honey, is 100% pure honey. Nothing artificial – or dairy – is added. It is the creaming process that transforms regular Australian honey into creamed honey.
The natural crystallisation process of honey is precisely controlled, and the varieties of honey used for creaming carefully selected.
How is Creamed Honey Made?
Just like whipping cream traps bubbles of air and produces a fluffier consistency, whipping honey does similar. In the end, the honey is filled with tiny bubbles of air that enhance the texture and flavour.
The honey we use
AB’s Honey pure Ironbark honey is creamed in small batches using a traditional method. We choose to use Ironbark Honey in our creaming process because it has a natural tendency to quickly crytallise.
The traditional creaming process involves carefully maintaining the natural raw honey at a low temperature and using paddles to gently stir the mixture. A low temperature is essential to slow the crystallisation process and prevent any damage to the honey.
