Liquid honey also tends to naturally crystallise and become lumpy after some time. Crystallisation is easily reversible and does not affect the taste and quality of the honey, although it alters its looks and texture. Thus, for commercial reasons, a shelf life is indicated on the honey bottles in the shop.
