Blotting Test
Pour a thumb of your honey on to a sheet of paper towel and fold it in half. If the honey easily absorbs into the paper towel, it probably isn't real. Fake adulterated honey will soak through the paper towel very easily and will leave a water mark.
The Warm Water Test: Add a teaspoon of honey to a glass of warm water. If the honey is pure, then it will sink to the bottom of the glass as a lump or stick to the spoon when the mixture is stirred. If the honey is adulterated with any kind of syrup, it will dissolve in the water.

Supermarket honey could be a blend of Australian and overseas honey, or it could be mixed with a sugar syrup. So you could be paying a good price for something that isn't pure. The higher-quality honeys are likely to be blended with cheaper, less tasty honeys to reduce the cost for the company.

A jar of honey labeled pure generally means it was not diluted with other ingredients like corn syrup. Most pure honey has been pasteurized and filtered to remove all the debris. The resulting product is still 100% honey; however, the label itself doesn't always tell you much about how it was produced.
Honey flavour depends on the flower species from which the bees gather the nectar; acacia is typically sweet and light while forest honeys are often richer. Expensive honeys tend to taste stronger and more distinctive – but, like 70% of honey sold in the UK, are still likely to be blended.
Manuka honey is more expensive than most other honey because it is rare and only produced in Australia and New Zealand. The flowers the bees collect the nectar from, to make Manuka honey are from the Leptospermum family, which is native to Australia. Farming Manuka honey costs more to produce than other honeys.

Avoid any honey labeled as “ultrafiltrated.” Don't be fooled by honey labeled as “pure.” This has no legal significance and doesn't actually guarantee purity. Look for the label “True Source Certified” instead. True Source Honey independently verifies the ethical origins of honey.
When it's stored properly, honey never goes bad, Grad said in an interview with Allrecipes. "Honey will darken and/or crystallize, but it is still safe to eat," she said. Metal or plastic containers can oxidize the honey, and heat can change its flavor.
Raw honey and pure honey are terms often used but they differ slightly. They are both taken directly from the hive but pure honey is gently filtered whereas raw honey isn't, its honey in its purest form.
