ANALYSIS

The Honey and Health Laboratory conducted research and analyzed our honey from Austria. The results listed below are to be proud of …

• Water content at maximum 17%
• Invertase over 100 SE
• Aroma: mild-spicy to aromatic

Figures ​​that are probably not familiar to most readers, but we're happy to explain!

water content

In addition to the various types of sugar, water is the most important and quantitatively the second most important component of honey. For example, young honey has a very high water content of up to 30%. One sees this on the one hand at the coagulation of the honey or worse: when the honey begins to ferment due to yeasts. The ideal water content in honey is 17% or less. At 15% and below, the beekeeper has problems to achieve a fine crystalline structure. This honey then does not carry the precious flavors as well as a honey with 17% water content. This honey is very firm and less spreadable. You will not find it at the breakfast table in the eva,VILLAGE.

invertase

The invertase is also called Glucosidase and is a key figure for - to put it crudely - the naturalness of honey. The lower the value, the "worse" and immature is the honey.
In invertase-activity, bees infiltrate an enzyme while transporting their nectar and pollen from the alpine meadow to the hive. For this reason, this figure is also an indication of whether external substances were added to the honey.
