From Hive to Jar: Demystifying the Cold Pressing Process
Have you ever wondered how honey gets from the hive to your jar? The answer lies in a fascinating process known as cold pressing. Let's demystify it.
The Honey Harvest:
Harvesting: Beekeepers carefully collect honeycomb frames filled with honey from beehives.
Uncapping: They remove the wax cappings to expose the honey-filled cells.
The Cold Pressing Process:
Extraction: The uncapped frames are placed in an extractor—a machine that uses centrifugal force to spin out the honey.
Filtering: The extracted honey is then filtered to remove impurities like wax and bee parts.
From Hive to Jar:
Bottling: The pure, golden honey is bottled and ready for your enjoyment.
Cold pressing preserves honey's natural flavors and nutrients. So, the next time you savor honey, you'll appreciate the journey it took from hive to jar.
