How long can you store honey? In the fridge or outside?
How long can you store honey? After some time, the honey changes from liquid to solid form, so it happened with mine. But it tastes good and is a normal process. But how long can you generally store honey? Once it becomes permanent, how much more can it become? Year? Two years? Or just a few months? How much time can you store honey?
And do you keep honey in the fridge or outside the fridge? Can it be stored in the fridge longer?

You don't need to refrigerate honey, but I keep it in the refrigerator anyway. You can keep honey for as long as you need to, I have almost a year left in the refrigerator. It just thickens over time.
Honey should be kept in a shaded place in an airtight jar. If it is exposed to sunlight, it will lose its properties faster.
Also, avoid storing honey above 18 degrees Celsius, it is best to keep it in the refrigerator.
Nor can it be kept indefinitely.
It's best to eat it within a few months.
If you want to keep honey longer, you can freeze it. But I don't know what properties it will keep after such a time. He will keep some.
You can store honey either in the refrigerator or in a cupboard. However, it shouldn't change anything, maybe just a little weaker if it's in the fridge. Additionally, it can be stored for years, but it will crystallize over time - it is a natural process.
Honey is such a miracle food product that does not have an expiration date. It does not break down. If you keep honey out of the refrigerator (which you can of course do) it will simply run out of honey for longer. Remember to store the honey in a shaded place, e.g. in a cupboard. In the refrigerator, honey will crystallize faster.
In my house, honey was eaten for over half a year and it was fine. It only hardened over time. You don't have to keep it in the fridge, I don't keep it in the fridge. It is in the cupboard. Unless it is hot and, for example, you have 30 degrees in the apartment - then I would take it to the fridge. It is cool in my place, even in hot weather.
But I used to live in such a hot apartment in an uninsulated block right under the roof and there was a sauna in the summer. Everything I could put in the refrigerator, otherwise it would break.
I've had honey in my cupboard for a year now. It's already the end of the jar. He's hardened a lot over the year, but he's still good.
