General medicinal properties attributed to all types of honey include antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing. These properties can be attributed to the many nutritional and bioactive compounds naturally found in honey, including sugars, proteins, amino acids, enzymes, organic acids, vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds and volatile compounds, many of which are specific for honey derived from certain flowers.  The presence of specific enzymes in honey helps determine the freshness and origin of the honey\u003csup\u003e1\u003c\/sup\u003e such as Creamy Clover Honey.\u003c\/p\u003e\r \u003ch4\u003eServing suggestions of Creamy Clover Honey:\u003c\/h4\u003e\r \u003cp\u003eCreamy Clover Honey can be enjoyed simply as an eating experience by itself, spread generously onto bread or toast.

This is because there is a small risk with any honey that it may contain spores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, which can germinate in the immature intestine of a young child and cause infant botulism, a bacterial infection of the intestines.  Risk of botulism from honey is only a problem for the immature intestine.  Once mature, the intestines can prevent Clostridium spreading and causing botulism.\u003c\/p\u003e\r \u003ch3\u003eProduct Size\u003c\/h3\u003e\r \u003cp\u003e500g\u003c\/p\u003e\r \u003ch3\u003eReferences\u003c\/h3\u003e\r \u003col\u003e\r     \u003cli\u003eda Silva PM, Gauche C, Gonzaga LV, Costa AC, Fett R.
