                                While archaeologists have found honey over 3,000 years old that was still edible, honey can and will ferment if its moisture content gets too high. The question of how can I tell if my honey is fermented often arises when a jar's contents change, and distinguishing fermentation from natural crystallization is crucial for assessing its quality.
