The leafy tree known in Europe as the acacia (but more precisely called the black locust tree) lures honeybees with inviting white flowers to produce a clean and pure, brightly-colored sunny, yellow honey. Organically harvested, our beekeepers craft this unfiltered honey using sustainable methods that are in complete harmony with the environment and nature. It's also packaged in a clip jar at its naturally cool temperature to retain enzymes and the nuances of its complex flavors.

Full-bodied and very sweet with an easily flowing liquid texture and a pleasantly floral aroma, this is a fantastic honey for cooking and baking. Use it in a glaze for lamb or pork, or bake up a honey cake or berry quiche. For a wonderful cold and flu elixir, combine this honey with chamomile tea, lemon, and sage leaves, then add boiling water for a steaming mug that may temporarily ease symptoms. Very versatile, acacia honey also has cosmetic properties: If you have dry, chapped lips, apply some honey and leave on for a few minutes. Repeat daily to soften lips. This can even be used in combination with egg yolk to moisturize hair.
