Buckwheat Honey

Mysterious, opaque and dark brown, buckwheat is a stout and complex honey. It can be compared to other sweeteners such as sorghum or molasses. Hints of mossy earth, and a not-so-sweet composition combine to develop a malty flavour with a pronounced bright finish.

Buckwheat honey pairs well with any strong cheese [especially blue varietal cheeses], with grapefruit [as a palate cleanser], over spicy chilli, mixed with butter and cornbread, oatmeal, or anything maple syrup would be used on. Buckwheat honey is a wonderful addition to traditional recipes when baking hearty breads or honey cake, and is excellent in barbecue sauce.

Accompanies steamed milk and elderflower teas well and is an intrinsic component to chicory coffee.
