Preventative storage

Preventative storage practices can minimize honey crystallization, although they cannot completely eliminate it for all honey types. Storing honey in airtight containers reduces moisture absorption, which can accelerate crystallization. Storing honey at warmer temperatures, ideally above 70°F (21°C), slows down crystallization. However, prolonged storage at high temperatures can degrade honey quality. Some honey varieties, due to their sugar composition, are more prone to crystallization than others. Preventative storage can delay crystallization but may not prevent it entirely, especially for honeys high in glucose.
