Excellently spontaneous complexity of sensations: dark amber color with opaque hues from red to brown, it has a remarkable spicy-peppery aroma with hint of juniper berries and cloves. Its flavor is reminiscent of steamed vegetables, carob, rhubarb and licorice sticks. Nicely persistent and not very sweet, has a melted brown sugar aftertaste. Produced between July and August.
Ideal for sweet and savory preparation of meat or lake fish where dark spices are used, great on sauteed carrots with cumin. At breakfast, a few drops of this honey may be used on yogurt or dried fruit.
