I agree with Pete that to my tastes, honey quality deteriorates with age,
and anything over a couple of years old (unless frozen) I dump or feed back
to a hive.
> I have some very old honey here that I discovered in a old trailer that was to be removed when the property sold. originally the honey was collected and stored by Dr John Thomas (his name is on the TAMU bee lab) son who died in a motorcycle accident about 40 years ago. The honey was stored in plastic pales and is very dark and very rich. I really do not try to actively sell this but some folks really love the deep flavor. To me the sweet is gone but I do find it an excellent product for cooking with or making barbecue sauce.
> Personally when it comes to honey I prefer raw honey that is fresh.
