Honeydew Honey

This is a separate class of honey called Honeydew which is relatively uncommon in North America as far as availability goes, and is often referred to as "Forest Honey" in Europe.

The origin of this unique honey and its name does not relate to the Honeydew plant but rather to the ancient beliefs regarding a "honey dew" falling from Heaven, or "Manna."  Aphids and other scale insect feed upon the sap of trees and plants.  They exude most of this, and sometimes when the exuded sap would collect on leaves and then fall with a rustling breeze, people in ancient times thought honey was falling from heaven, thus, a "honey dew."  In times of drought when floral nectar sources are scarce, bees will forage upon these exudations and make a beautiful honey from it.

Honeydew Honey is darker in color and has more mineral content.  It has a smooth, semi-sweet flavor with woodsy, malt notes.

Amazing but Expensive

The honey is fabulous, and I love it. But it's very expensive, and I'm not sure I could afford to buy it except very rarely.

Rich tasting honey

I love this honey. It is like a much richer, more flavorful version of clover honey in my opinion. The flavor really holds its own in a peanut butter and honey sandwich.

Fresh and delicious.

Beautifully packed and packaged and promptly received. The two small samples are handy for tasting and use. They look pretty too. Ames Farm just does it right.
