About this Honey
Produced abundantly throughout the Western United States and Canada, Alfalfa honey is harvested during the summer months when the purple flowers bloom in hot, dry climates. It is white to extra-light amber in color with a subtle, spicy, and mildly floral flavor profile. Because of its high glucose content, this honey crystallizes very rapidly, often becoming solid in the jar, which makes it a preferred variety for creaming or whipping.
