Collection Process:
When your order is ready for collection, you will receive an email notification from us. Please respond to this email to confirm the day and time you prefer to collect your order.

We ask that you do not attempt to collect your order without first receiving this confirmation email and informing us of your intended collection time. This ensures your order is ready and waiting for you upon arrival, making the collection process smooth and convenient for both parties.

How can I collect my Greek Market order?
You or a family member, friend, or volunteer over the age of 18 can pick up your GreekMarket.co.uk order. The person collecting the order must have the order number and a form of ID with them (either a debit or credit card, passport, driving license, or utility bill). Once you arrive, please park your car close to the reception or warehouse entrance, and a member of staff will bring your order to your car.

Why your Greek honey get crystallised

Pollen and the natural sugars in honey such as glucose and fructose will bind together and begin to form little crystals, which can start making your honey harder. Non-processed, 100% pure natural honey of top quality will crystallise faster than others. While it might mean less shelf appeal because the honey looks solid, keeping pollen in honey means you’re getting a real product made by bees.

Crystallised honey is still honey! It’s perfectly safe to eat and doesn’t mean that your honey has gone bad. In fact, it’s just the opposite! It means that your honey is pure and natural with its flavour, quality and health benefits 100% preserved. You can still eat and cook with crystallised honey exactly as you normally would. It will melt into your hot drinks and into your baked dishes, just like liquid honey.

How to turn your honey back to liquid

If you prefer not to mess with your favourite sweet treat and want to keep your honey dripping, simply give it a bath. Take a large bowl, fill it with warm water and let your honey sit until the crystals melt away.

Olive oil starts to get naturally solidified when exposed to cold temperatures, usually between 1-4° Celsius.

The solidification of olive oil is a slow and gradual process and starts by it looking cloudy or crystalised. As the olive oil gets even colder, it turns into the same consistency as butter. When completely frozen, it becomes a very hard butter.

Again, this process doesn’t affect the quality — it will be the same Extra Virgin Olive Oil when you bring it back down to room temperature and it becomes liquid again. Some even suggest keeping it at this extra cool temperature to extend the shelf life.

Thawing Olive Oil At Home

•You can put the container into a “warm room”.
Move it to a warmer spot in your house before you use it. Make sure to give it enough time to turn back into a liquid — the larger the packaging, the more time it will need. This process can take anywhere from 1 day to 1 week, so make sure to plan ahead.

•If you are looking to bring your retail bottle of olive oil back to a liquid state, this process is quite simple. Just fill a sink with warm water, and place your olive oil bottle in it. Your olive oil will slowing come back to a full liquid form so that you can use it just like normal — just give it 10 or 20 minutes in the warm water.

•You may find that there are small particles that are floating in the oil after defrosting — these are small, natural molecules of the olive that tend to separate and settle when the olive oil solidifies. Don’t worry, your oil is still good and you can use it like normal.

However, if you need to purchase additional products, here’s what you can do:

1. Place an Additional Order
   Visit our website and place a separate order for any additional products you need.
2. Contact Us to Combine
