With a candy-like flavor and undertones of crème brulée, Yellow Star Thistle Honey comes from summertime bloom of small fuzzy flowers that cover the fields of Northern California. Though the plant is considered a weed, Yellow Star Thistle honey is astonishing. Ours was named the “Champagne of honeys” by the staff at Food and Wine magazine and received praise from Saveur magazine, who declared it one of America’s finest honeys. Beekeepers who understand the value of this honey vie for hive locations near the densest stands of star thistle’s bountiful brilliant yellow blossoms. The light, candy-sweet flavor highlights subtle tones of banana and crème brulée. Wonderful for baking, it adds to the subtle flavors of cakes, cookies, and other pastries. Also available in Honey in the Straw.
