Honey has become one of the most demanded products in the supermarket. Perfect to combine with any type of food, its healthy properties are the greatest incentive for its purchase. For this reason, from the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) they have decided to take out one that can be purchased in the most trusted establishments.
Based on milflores honey, the most classic variety and the one most consumed by Spaniards, the OCU has decided to test to assess which one has the best flavor, in line with its properties, price and place of origin.

In addition, as the analysis determines, in the case of honey, those that have been manufactured in Spain are the most expensive given their category of Protected Designation of Origin or Geographical Indication, such as honey from La Alcarria or Galicia.

A problem exacerbated by the fact that these foods are heated to keep them liquid or because they are old honey.

For this reason, it has highlighted the Master Purchase, given that it is 100% Spanish and that it costs 3.35 euros for a 500-gram pot.
