Dutch GoldHoney Buckwheat, 16 oz

I live on the west coast, and stronger honeys like buckwheat can very rarely be found in grocery stores. This honey has so much more depth of flavor than your standard clover or wildflower varieties. It works especially well for making honey ice cream with a deep, rich flavor. I also like to pour it over Greek yogurt.

I hated honey initially but now I have been liking it more and more. In part I think this is due to ditching corn-syrup clover "honey" and trying to get some more flavorful and real stuff. This honey is very interesting, has a bold molasses forward taste that I enjoy. Worth a try if you are looking to extend your honey palette.Does not mention being pasteurized or not which would be helpful especially for those who may be pregnant etc although there are not conclusive studies one way or another on that. Dutch gold has their own website and it seems like a company that is looking to get some quality honey at a reasonable pricepoint. Depending on how much you bake with honey you may want a larger bottle but this size has worked well for me for toast and other applications. The spout of the honey does not have one of those little stoppers but I have not found it to be overly messy.

this honey has a specific taste, but I love buckwheat taste! Recommend to try

Wow! this is by far the strongest flavor of any honey in my collection. Beats the pants off of even Manuka. I can't say I love it, but it is REALLY different! Unlike most honeys that you cannot tell the difference in the dark, this one you can tell instantly by taste or even smell. And if it is not in the dark, you can tell it across the room by its extraordinarily dark color. At first I didn't like it, and thought it was just TOO strong, TOO strange. But I did not give up, and learned to use it not as a simple sweetener, but to add its own unique flavor to oatmeal, cream of wheat, milk drinks, and black teas. A tiny bit even adds a mysterious note to savory soups that will keep your guests guessing. It goes well in some teas, while ruins other teas, It does have one other positive unintentional effect. I am so very careful about the quantity due to its powerful flavor that I use much less than other honeys, so it lowers my sugar intake. Just a very little is enough. I have learned to like it, because it is so very different. However unless you are sure you like this honey, I recommend you try the small 1 lb bottle at first. (honey is heavy so 1 pound actually IS a small bottle). Try even smaller if you can find it, in case you are not as experimental as I am.

Fine buckwheat honey taste and consistent for the past few years I've used it.

I think people either love this or hate this, but I think the smart transition is to go from honey to avocado honey to this, because it will get your palate ready for the deep flavors of the buckwheat. Avocado is a bit deeper than regular honey, and I think very tasty, but this certainly takes it to a new level, which I really enjoy. It's very complex and will not taste anything like regular honey really, except that it's sweet.If you're feeling adventurous or just want to try something more complex than regular old honey, go for this or try Avocado honey first and see if even swaying in this direction is right for you.Two other things I really like about this is the squeeze bottle (super convenient) and the price is on the appropriate side of specialty honeys.

Never had buckwheat honey before, and I'd heard some very mixed opinions. It seems to be one of those things that everybody either loves or hates, no in-between. Thought I'd try it, just to decide for myself. Glad I did because I fall in the camp of people who love it. It does have a very distinct taste. Rich, earthy, and musky; much different from regular clover or wildflower honey, and I can see how some would be put off by it. Also, the smell is a bit odd. Kind of like wet hay, or something like that. Still, I was very happy with it and will definitely be buying again. I'd say it's worth trying if you've never had it.

We love buckwheat hone my and it is difficult to find in stores. Dutch Gold is excellent! Plus the producer is in the same state so buying it supports a local brand.
