About this Honey
Harvested from the pink flowers of the Sainfoin plant, a legume grown as fodder in the Rockies and parts of Europe. This honey is distinctively yellow (like straw) and very clear. It is highly prized for its delicate, buttery sweetness and faint floral aroma. It is considered superior to clover honey by many for its refined taste.
