About this Honey
A specialty honey from the Caribbean (especially Jamaica). As the name implies, the nectar produces a honey with a distinct bitter aftertaste, similar to dark chocolate or strong coffee. It is not a table honey for children, but a gourmet ingredient prized by chefs for cutting through the richness of heavy stews and sauces.
