Each type of honey is harvested with different flowers, so the taste and fragrance of each honey will be different.
For natural honey honey, there are two kinds of acids, one is a normal phenomenon, and the other is fermentation deterioration.
First, it is sometimes normal for honey to have a sour taste
Usually the taste of honey we taste is sweet and the floral fragrance of the honey source plant, the reason is that the main ingredient is monosaccharide (glucose and fructose) account for about 80%, and the aromatic substances of the honey source plant will exert a huge fragrance, so we taste the basic two tastes.
But the composition of honey is not only these two substances, there are many trace elements, such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc., as well as acids that can express taste, such as citric acid, malic acid, amino acids, etc., so almost all honey will have a sour taste, but each honey is different from the flowers, so the composition of honey will be different, plus everyone's tongue taste buds feel different, so even if it is the same kind of honey, some people may taste sour, some people may not be able to taste.
Second, honey sometimes has a sour taste and is fermented and deteriorated
Sometimes natural honey is not stored properly, it is easy to appear fermentation deterioration, when honey fermentation deterioration, honey will have a great sour taste.
Some friends may have doubts, how to distinguish between the acid of fermentation and deterioration and the acid of normal honey, in fact, the acid of honey fermentation and the acid of normal honey are easy to distinguish from the appearance and senses.
For honey to appear fermentation deterioration and acidity, there will also be the following characteristics:
1, honey has a large number of bubbles generated, accompanied by the phenomenon of bottle increase;
2, honey smells and tastes like a lot of alcohol.
If the above two conditions are accompanied, it means that honey is a fermented and spoiled acid.
So for the sour taste of your honey, you will easily tell what is going on.
As for what you said about the taste of the good bee, if it is simply sweet + floral, complex, what taste may appear, because each type of honey picking different flowers, the taste of the flower is definitely different, everyone likes different, so everyone tastes the feeling is different, such as I drink this year's locust nectar, hundred nectar, lychee honey, longan honey, I will talk about their taste.
