Honey is one of the oldest foods in the world – a natural sweetener that was appreciated by ancient civilizations and that still represents an indispensable part of the culinary and health traditions of many cultures today. But although we often perceive it as something simple – a sweet liquid in a glass jar – it hides an extraordinary complexity.
