About this Honey

The pride of Scotland, harvested in late summer from the purple hillside moors. This honey is "thixotropic," meaning it is a thick jelly that only becomes liquid when agitated. It is reddish-orange and holds tiny air bubbles. The flavor is intense, tangy, smoky, and woody—a true gourmet experience often served with honeycomb.
