About this Honey

Harvested from wild mustard fields that blanket California and the West in bright yellow each spring. This honey is distinct: it is light in color but crystallizes creamy-smooth very quickly. The flavor is mild but carries a tiny "bite" or tang that reminds one of the spicy plant itself. It is widely used by commercial bakeries for its texture.
