About this Honey
A rare varietal harvested in late spring. Persimmon nectar is incredibly high in glucose, meaning this honey is almost never found in liquid form—it crystallizes rapidly into a buttery solid. It has a mild, non-fruity taste that is clean and sugary, perfect for making creamed honey spreads.
