Cream honey is a beekeeping product that has recently become available on the market. It is prepared from ordinary honey by whipping. At the same time, honey cream retains its beneficial properties for more than a year. No additives are used to prepare healthy sweets, a thick consistency is formed due to the use of a special cooking technology. A contraindication to the use of whipped honey can only be a possible allergic reaction.
Making honey cream is easy at home. The main operation is simple mechanical stirring of ordinary liquid honey. At the same time, its crystal structure is destroyed and a white sour cream-like mass of a homogeneous texture is formed.
When honey is whipped, a small amount of oxygen gets into it, due to which the product increases its volume and slightly changes its taste.
