Acacia: Water-white to nearly
clear in color, with a delicately light floral flavor. Exceptional for
sweetening drinks without altering their taste.
Alfalfa: White to light amber in
color, with good body and a multifunctional flavor. This honey is a fine choice
as a table honey or for use in baking or cooking.
Blackberry: Usually light to
golden amber in color. Fruity, rich and full-flavored honey is slightly
reminiscent of blackberries. It’s an excellent all-around honey, especially
great for baking.
Buckwheat: Color is dark brown. A
very full-bodied honey with a strong, distinct flavor. Typically contains more
antioxidant compounds than most light honeys.
Clover: Varies in color from
water-white to very light amber with a mild, delicate flavor. Although light in
color, research shows clover honey is rich in antioxidants.
Eucalyptus: Ranges in color from
dark amber to gray, with an intensely bold flavor and undertones of a slight
medicinal aftertaste. Makes a tasty sweetener for herbal tea or a nice
accompaniment to cheeses and breads.
Fireweed: Pleasantly light in
color and flavor, fireweed is an ideal all-purpose honey for cooking, baking
and table use.
Mint: Despite its name, this
honey doesn’t taste like mint. A dark, rich, full-flavored honey often referred
to as “the stout beer of honeys,” its flavor holds up well in baking and
sauces.
Orange blossom: Color is
extra-light amber with a delightful citrusy aroma and flavor. (This honey is
derived from a combination of citrus floral sources.) Excellent multipurpose
honey.
Sage: Light and mellow in color
and taste. Its taste is heightened by the subtle flavor of sage.
