Is it like a bloom filter? Crystallizes easily means real? Doesn’t crystallize easily means unknown?

Unfortunately not. The rate of crystallisation depends on the source of nectar for the honey, I know from experience that clover honey seems to crystallise a lot sooner than Manuka honey.

It also depends on the sort of processing done. Commercial honey is pasturised, but local suppliers might not.

No you can buy cheap “mix of non EU” honey in both styles from the supermarket for about the same price

Different blooms cause different types of honey, yeah.
