About this Honey
While true vanilla orchids yield little nectar for bees, this honey typically refers to honey infused with vanilla beans or harvested from plants with vanilla-like aromatic compounds (like Sweet Clover or Heliotrope). It offers a rich, comforting aroma and a smooth, dessert-like flavor profile that makes it a favorite for coffee and baking.
