KATZ RANGE WILDFLOWER HONEY 13.5 oz.

New gathering...We are wild about this batch!

About Our Range Wildflower Honey:


This season’s gathering comes from wild California buckwheat flowers and wild sage flowers both found along the coastal regions from Central California to the south. Buckwheat produces lovely pink and white flowers and is a prolific source for not only honeybees but butterflies and other pollinators. The light blue and lavender flowers of wild sage are found in the coastal mountains as well.

This naturally blended, medium amber colored gathering of honey has a rich and robust flavor with notes of soft caramel, and hints of maple and sweet spices on the palate, and it's all tied together with pleasant piquancy and warm notes on the finish. Some “sweet” notes about wild buckwheat...it is very high in mineral and polyphenol content and it is also drought tolerant and will bloom in even dry years!

Three Jar Limit Per Customer, Please!


SERVING SUGGESTIONS:

If you like the taste of honey in your tea, a spoonful of Range Wildflower will brighten the moment; or try warming it a touch and drizzling over vanilla ice cream!


About Our Honey

Bees produce honey from the nectar of blooming plants, and the nectar produced by one flower will be different than that of another flower. Our mission is to seek out distinctive California flora which produce honeys that have the qualities in aroma, taste, texture, and color reflective of their particular species of flower.

As many of you know, it has become increasingly difficult for the fantastically hard-working honeybees to gather the nectar necessary to produce honey due to dwindling floral sources caused by the drought in California, the ongoing impact of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), and the increasingly harmful effects of habitat loss. We work closely with our beekeeper friends to bring you the highest quality and best tasting, sustainably sourced honey that is currently available.

All of our honeys are gathered directly from the hive and bottled unpasteurized. This allows the honey to maintain a multitude of health benefits which are often lost in traditional, commercial honey production processes.

Please note: Crystallization is natural for raw, unprocessed honey like ours. Don't worry, though, honey is good forever because of its antibiotic properties which keep it from spoiling! Crystallized honey can be enjoyed in its own right but, if you prefer a more liquid honey, you can soften your crystalized honey by placing the opened jar in hot water bath (make sure not to put the honey over direct heat or you risk changing the flavor and losing all those health benefits!) and stirring the honey inside until it liquefies.
