White foam is often greeted with the words: "What's that white stuff on the top"? If you find the white foam in your honey jar, consider yourself lucky.
Honey foam may be one of the most surprising things about the appearance of raw honey. Raw honey usually has a slight layer of white foam on the surface, marble-like swirling or white spots in the upper sides of the jar. This is caused by air bubbles that have risen to the top. It is a sign that the honey has been packed without heating.
Honey foam is delicious. It is light, flavorful, and packed with air bubbles that have trapped some of the wondrous stuff that is in raw honey: pollen, propolis, wax, and, of course, raw honey.

Thank you for your question!
The white layer or foam on top of raw honey is usually a natural byproduct of air bubbles and pollen rising to the surface — it’s not harmful.
If your honey has been sealed properly and stored in a cool, dry place, consuming it after 8 months is absolutely safe. Raw honey has a long shelf life and does not spoil easily due to its natural antibacterial properties.
However, avoid it if:
• The jar was unsealed or stored in extreme heat/humidity.
• It smells fermented or has visible mold (which is rare in honey).
We’re always here to help if you notice anything unusual. 😊
