Why it is to thick? Is everyone's like this? I basically need to put it in microwave every couple of days to make it more like a syrup than butter!

oh- i am not so sure you should be putting it in the microwave..i don't know if that might negatively impact the therapeutic aspectsbecause it is so pure and unprocessed it contains an amount of bee's wax-- if i need some to be liquid i just take mine and put it in a container and rest that container in a bit of boiling water. if i am using it in hot tea or something hot and liquid i just carve out a bit of a chunk with a flat knife that i've put into the hot liquid--it dissolves very quickly

If honey flows like a liquid, it's probably because corn syrup has been added.Any company can add a certain percentage of corn syrup and, legally, not have to label it.Buy local honey, the bees are getting pollen/nectar near you and this local production will help keep your body healthy and protected.Do some research about this, I was shocked to find corn syrup (up to 90% of corn is genetically modified in the U.S.) can be added but not disclosed as an ingredient.

It's thick because it has not been heated, which is why it is so much better than normally processed & heated honey. DO NOT microwave it, you are destroying the nutrients...the fact that it's unheated is the whole purpose of buying raw honey!

I'm a small scale beekeeper who is responding to the folks below who think liquid honey is not pure or it has been heated. They are incorrect. The purest form of honey is liquid. Honey must be processed (crystallized/creamed) to be solid like this product. If you know what comb honey looks like that is what honey looks like in the hive. If not, google it. Find a beekeeper in your neighborhood and buy from them. Unless you are in a heavy agricultural area with high pesticide use, you can skip organic (usually foreign honey anyway). Most bees forage in tall trees (maple, linden, locust, beech, tulip poplar, etc).

True raw honey will thicken & eventually crystallize. I've honestly never had store honey ever thicken or crystallize in all of the years I used to buy it, though from what I've read it is probably mostly HFCS & other garbage labeled as "pure honey."

That's a really good question. I wondered the same thing the first time I purchased. However, I think it may have to do with the fact that it's unprocessed and thus the consistency. Processed honeys filter out allot of the binders from what I've seen on YT about organic honey products. I typically leave it out by my coffee maker so that it stays warm instead of in the cabinet. Hope this helped.

I was told cause it is non pasteurized, organic and non refined is why it comes thick.

Agreed, unless you live somewhere very warm. It's always solid. What you could do is melt it and mix it with olive oil or almond oil.. or any oil you want. That way it won't be quite as hard. Once your mixture firms up just use a mixer to make it creamy.

I love mine. The thickness really depends on the batter. I made a dry batch and they were thicker and one that was moister & they were thinner. Hopefully this helps. I am so glad that I bought it!

This has a thicker consistency than what you are describing. It is delicious though!

Now that you mentioned this then probably that's why it's burning like that (I didn't see that on the wrapping :-()...I tried with and without butter. I used a wax paper today and the paper itself was really crisp and stuck to the food. I think I'll use it for storage and for dishes that doesn't require to much heat.

It is super thick I used it on my counter tops and had to move quick using a putty knife to spread as I poured. I did try using a brush but it did not work due to the thickness of this product.

I always add a tablespoon of vegetable oil to make it thin enough. Don't forget to melt it in the microwave first on 50% power. The inner part of this system is microwavable - just lift it out and pop it in the microwave. Good luck!

I use strictly pure stick butter in mine. If I let the stick soften @ room temp. slightly it seems to adhere better.

I had the same reaction. It is hard. I used a knife and/or spoon to get honey out. It does get softer as you get to the bottom. I use it daily and give it to my dogs as well - they love it too. Hard to get off the spoon though. It does melt if you put it in something warm like tea or coffee.

Yes, only better because it is fresher! Make sure u use the right ingredients. You can also use a topping oil for those who like extra butter!

I have but came out with something along the line of Villi - very thick, gooey and kind of stringy. It tasted good but I couldn't get past the texture. I called the manufacturer and they recommended I heat the raw milk to 145 then allow it to cool before adding the culture. I have done it that way now for a few months and it makes wonderful buttermilk.

My experience is the cream is much thicker than milk and is only interchangeable in certain recipes. Hope this helps.

I actually mix mine with ground flaxseed (1/1 ratio) and that makes it much less chunky. The only other recommendation I can give is, use more water, stir heavily and chug it right away. The longer you leave it the thicker it becomes.

Yes - heating it up in the microwave for a few seconds will help it be more pliable. I had never used this product before (bought some other brand off store shelf at Michael's) - this was better & easier to handle than store frosting. Just follow directions on the tub - it is really super easy!

Yes, it is thick. I use a sponge instead of a paintbrush and stir it in a small bowl. I dab it in in several areas and then smooth it all together.

I use milk and I just mix to the consistency that I want a bit thinner at first as it will thicken , Hope this helped

Try this, make the paste thicker (simmer more) & be careful how you spread it. I think it gets thinner as you go outwards as the inner ring "forces you" to make the insdie the same thickness as the ring ! My kids love all sorts of fruit this way (add to lunches)
