The choice of utensil to collect your honey is not trivial. If we often recommend a wooden spoon rather than a metal one, it is not out of simple tradition. Behind this advice lie practical and taste reasons.

In this article, discover why the wooden spoon is the essential ally for your honey.

1. Preserve the quality of honey

Honey is a living food, rich in enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Contact with certain metals can alter its properties and taste. Wood, being a neutral material, preserves the integrity of the honey and does not interfere with its subtle flavor.

2. Avoid oxidation and metallic taste

A metal spoon, especially steel, can cause the honey to oxidize slightly and give an unpleasant metallic aftertaste. Wood, on the other hand, allows the freshness and delicacy of the aromas to be preserved, thus offering an optimal taste experience.

3. A traditional and respectful gesture

Using a wooden spoon is perpetuating an ancestral gesture. The ancients already used this type of utensil to preserve the qualities of their food. In addition, wood is a renewable and ecological material, in accordance with an approach that respects nature. 

The wooden spoon is not a simple aesthetic accessory: it is the guarantor of the purity and flavor of your honey. Opting for this noble material means respecting the meticulous work of bees, preserving the properties of this ancient nectar, and taking full advantage of its taste qualities.
