About this Honey
Harvested mainly in Florida and California during the commercial strawberry bloom. This is a rare monofloral honey because strawberry flowers yield very little nectar, so hives must be placed densely. The resulting honey is dark amber with a strong, distinct flavor that is noticeably sweet and carries a subtle tartness, reminiscent of strawberry jam.

The Story
Harvested amidst the sprawling commercial fruit fields of Florida and California, Strawberry honey is an exceptionally rare monofloral masterpiece. Because the delicate white blooms of Fragaria species naturally secrete highly volatile, negligible amounts of nectar, local apiaries must orchestrate intense, high-density hive placements right at the peak of the spring bloom to capture this elusive crop.\n\nIt defies the standard light, tropical profiles of most fruit blossoms, filling the jar with a striking dark amber hue driven by a high glucose structure that exhibits a rapid crystallization speed. On the tongue, its chemical composition commands immediate attention with a rich, jam-like sweetness that is brilliantly cut by a lingering, subtle tartness and natural fruit pectins, making it an elite finishing drizzle for fresh chèvre or Belgian waffles.
