About this Honey

Sourced from the North American Basswood tree (Tilia americana), found from the Midwest to the Northeast. Produced during a short, intense flow in early summer, this water-white honey is famous for its biting, distinctive flavor that lingers on the palate. It is highly active enzymatically and is prized by connoisseurs for its complex, woody, and slightly minty notes.
