I have searched the archives for this list and nowhere have I found a clear,
definitive statement on whether it is possible to heat honey to a high enough
temperature that it would be "pasturized" — and still be suitable for human
consumption, and if so, not be so badly damaged that it would be unsalable in
the marketplace.
Or to put it another way, when my honey customers ask if my honey is
pasturized, I tell them there is no such thing as "pasturized" honey because
in order to heat it high enough to kill all bacteria, the honey flavor, and
maybe even the honey itself, would be destroyed. Honey is only heated high
enough to facilitate bottling and filtering.
So would somebody please correct me if I'm diseminating wrong information.
