Honey Tasting

I've done wine tasting, olive oil tasting, cheese tasting and even calvados tasting. But never honey-tasting. So I was thrilled to be invited to try four different types of award-winning organic South Island single source honey from J Friend & Co.

I dipped into clover honey, pohutukawa honey, manuka and wild thyme honey. My favourite, thanks to the unusually savoury flavour, was wild thyme honey. It really does taste of thyme and is said to be excellent with a good cheese.

Now I'm really keen to get our own hives. We have heaps of rosemary here so maybe we'll end up with rosemary honey... The next farm-based project is our baby though so our first bees will just have to wait a little longer.
