Use Clean Containers: Start with clean, dry, and sterile containers. Glass jars are an excellent choice for packaging honey because they are non-reactive and won't affect the flavor or quality of the honey.

Fill Containers Carefully: Pour the raw honey into the containers, leaving a small amount of headspace at the top to allow for expansion if the honey crystallizes.

Seal Containers Securely: Ensure that the lids or caps of the containers are tightly sealed to prevent air and moisture from entering.

Label the Containers: Label each container with the date of packaging and any other relevant information, such as the type of honey or its source. This helps you keep track of freshness.

Store at Room Temperature: Honey can be stored at room temperature in a cool, dry place. It does not need to be refrigerated.

Keep Away from Direct Sunlight: Exposure to direct sunlight can cause honey to darken and deteriorate in quality. Store honey in a dark or opaque container and keep it away from direct sunlight.

Avoid Moisture: Honey has a low moisture content, but exposure to moisture can cause it to ferment. Keep containers tightly sealed to prevent moisture from entering.

Protect from Temperature Extremes: Avoid extreme temperature fluctuations. While honey can tolerate a wide range of temperatures, it's best to store it between 50°F and 77°F (10°C and 25°C).

Prevent Crystallization: Raw honey may crystallize over time, which is a natural process. To return crystallized honey to its liquid state, gently warm the container in a warm water bath (never microwave honey as it can destroy its beneficial enzymes and flavor).

Check for Spoilage: Honey has a very long shelf life and is resistant to spoilage, but if it develops an off smell, unusual texture, or mold, discard it.
