Meaning and use
The natural color of honey presents many tonalities: from straw yellow to amber, from dark amber to

almost black with a hint of red. The color of untreated honey originates from the botanical varieties

used by the bees: for this reason, its coloration allows one to commercially identify the original floral

type.

In addition, the color of honey tends to darken with age or change according to the method of

conservation or production used by beekeepers, (for example: the use of old beehives, contact with

metals, the temperature of conservation, exposure to light, etc.). The classes of color are expressed

in millimeters (mm) on the Pfund scale, compared to an analytical standard scale of reference on the

graduation of glycerin.
