Utah Honey - Flavorful or what?

I've had several customers amazed at how delicious & complex the flavors are in our honey. Some have asked me why ours is so much better than other honey?

That is a loaded question, but I think I can offer some compelling ideas.  Of course, I will first remind you that our honey is never heated or filtered which keeps many of the delicate flavors intact. This has been well discussed throughout our web site.

But is there anything else?  Yes!
Honey produced here in the arid west has only 15% moisture content.  Compared to honey from humid climates with 21% moisture content, you will immediately realize that our honey is sweeter & more concentrated with flavor, simply because it has less water.  This also means that our honey is better suited for storage, and with reasonable care simply won't ever spoil.

Next, we like to think that the variety of flora surrounding our apiaries is comprised of flowers that simply produce flavors that are difficult to beat.  Many of the specialty honeys on the market are harvested from areas that are dominant with 1 particular bloom.  While it seems clever to say that you have "Clover" honey or "Manuka" honey, you end up with a honey that will simply have less character & a simpler flavor profile than one with the nectars of hundreds of varieties of flower. 

 I believe that it is also healthier to consume honey produced by a variety of nectars because you are getting a much broader variety of micro nutrients produced by many different plants, trees & flowers.

While I wish that I could add to this list that we meticulously train our bees to produce very tasty honey, :)  I think that the flavor simply speaks for itself.  Enjoy!!

Just bought a pint of honey with honey comb. It's the most delicious thing ever, when your craving for something sweet, a tablespoon of honey with hone comb does the job. I'm so glad that I found this website.
