Hey, did you hear the latest buzz? September is National Honey Month! Now it is the perfect time to celebrate one of the hardest working members of our ecosystem—the glorious honey bee. In honor of these industrious workers and the ambrosial nectar they produce, we’ve added a new honey from Greece—Pure Greek Honey with Honeycomb—that is truly the bee’s knees.
Pure Greek Honey with Honeycomb is the essence of Greek flora in a jar. Honey bees have to pollinate about two million flowers to make one pound of honey, so you’re literally tasting over 1.5 million wildflowers from the Southwestern region of Messina in one 14-ounce jar of honey (that’s a lot!).
This amber-hued unfiltered honey is sweet, but not cloying, with soft floral notes—and, for honeycomb lovers, comes packed with a gorgeous chunk of fresh comb. Its thick, pourable texture and delicate flavor make it the ideal all-purpose honey—drizzle over your morning yogurt or peanut butter toast, whisk into vinaigrettes and dressings, stir into tea or use in baking. The honeycomb makes a stunning addition to any cheese plate. Read on for more ways to sweeten your September.
