Honey is the natural sweetener produced by honeybees from the nectar of plants. It's a pantry staple called for in baking recipes and savory dishes alike. We love it in glazes for poultry or game, drizzled over delicately flavored cheeses, or topped on buttery croissants. And what better breakfast could there be than honey swirled into Greek yogurt? And then, of course, there's tea. Honey is hands-down the ideal way to sweeten a steaming mug of your favorite brew.
The flavor in a jar of gourmet honey just doesn't compare to the big-label brands. You will appreciate the difference between a clear, pure artisanal honey and the sticky, sickly sweet variety that sits on supermarket shelves, often too long. Once you're hooked on our honey - be it organic, raw, or simply from the quality producers we work with -- there's no going back. But going forward there's plenty to explore. Experiment with honey varieties from different regions and plants: Tupelo, clover, orange blossom, raspberry: each has a unique sweetening profile. Or try a honey flavored with bourbon or chocolate. Hard to go wrong.
