Whether you're just starting out in the exciting world of beekeeping or you're a seasoned professional with your own commercial apiaries, the right honey jars make all the difference to your success. Glass honey jars offer benefits to amateur and professional beekeepers alike, unmatched by any other kind of container.

 

Glass honey jars and flavour

Honey is best stored in glass jars because glass is chemical-free and imparts no unwanted flavour to the honey. Many specialist honeys have delicate flavours or particular 'hints' of flavour that are derived from the local pollen, such as pine, lavender and herbs. Plastic containers can leach unwanted flavours into honey and spoil its flavour. With glass jars, you avoid this risk altogether and ensure the golden nectar remains as pure as when it was harvested. This is particularly important for specialist commercial producers whose business relies on quality, consistent products.

 

Glass beekeeper packs for zero chemicals

Honey also works perfectly in glass jars because the natural golden nectar remains free of chemicals and microplastics. Again, this maintains the purity and integrity of the product.

 

Honey and glass for a beautiful finish

Honey is so beautiful to look at, and this beautiful golden nectar can take on different shades, from pale golden to deep amber. Many beekeepers also produce honey with the honeycomb inside or infuse the finished results with additional ingredients, such as vanilla pods or orange blossom. With a glass jar, whether it's a 50 ml miniature glass jar or a large 1lb screw honey jar, the beauty of the honey itself is on display in the best possible way.

Presentation is half of the appeal with artisan foods, so a classic glass jar with a screw top lid and a pretty label will emphasise the quality of the contents.
