Ari,
If my honey is heated so much that the HMF jumps 
to above 40 it is already much darker. When coming around
80 and more a distinct bitter taste of HMF comes up. At the
same time enzymes do down rapidly.

Reply:
I dunno here for comparing as Florida is quite different
then Texas or New Mexico, Southern Calif, or Arizona even,
where I live; and here our Acacia or Mesquite/catsclaw and
cactus honeys can get this high in levels, and it is thick
honey and extra light to white normally and sure tastes
good, with many people seeking it out.

Sincerely,
