Fall Honey

Description

Thick, dark fall honey is rich and robust. It is harvested in September while the bees forage on the last blooms of the year. This honey is characterized by its deep, dark color, which ranges from amber to a dark brown, with a dense and viscous texture.

The flavor profile of fall honey is intense and complex, with strong, bold notes that include molasses, caramel, and even hints of spices. The bees collect nectar from late-season flowers and fall-blooming plants, contributing to the honey’s distinctive taste. The darker color of this honey is often a result of the higher mineral content and the processing of the nectar by the bees.

The viscosity of fall honey makes it less likely to crystallize, allowing it to maintain its thick and luxurious consistency over time. Its deep and hearty flavor makes it an excellent choice for pairing with strong cheeses, spreading on warm bread or biscuits, or incorporating into recipes where a bold honey flavor is desired.

Overall, thick, dark, fall honey embodies the essence of the autumn season, offering a decadent and full-bodied honey experience that reflects the changing landscape and the unique floral sources available during this time of the year.

Some customers have reported that it is good for winter coughs  – we cannot independently confirm this.

As the fall season is short there is only a limited quantity of this special honey.  We also need to leave enough honey in the hive for our hard working bees to sustain them through the winter.
