Creamed Clover Blossom Honey’s natural stable state is in a solid form. By guiding the crystalization process we cause the crystals that form to be very small. This makes the honey easier to spread and not so runny. Alfalfa, Blueberry and Blackberry can also available as creamed honey. |
Why is our Honey so good?
Our Honey is delicious because we handle our honey carefully.
Honey is a complicated food. It is hardy enough to last thousands of years and still be edible. It is sensitive enough that it starts to get burned at just over body temperature. Honey pots have been recovered from Egyptian tombs that still contain edible honey. Left at room temperature, honey will keep indefinitely.
Fireweed Honey
Fireweed is one of the most sought after honeys.
Fireweed is a beautiful wild pink flowered plant. It gets its name because it is one of the first plants to grow in an area after a forest fire. Often you can find huge pink expanses in the mountains around the Fraser Valley. Honeyview Farm will take beehives up into the mountain to try and collect this honey. It can be a tricky business as the only access can be unused logging roads with steep dropoffs on either side.
Honey & Ginger
Ginger and Honey - Two Healthy Foods
Ginger has been recognized for centuries as an effective remedy for the prevention and treatment of nausea. No maybe that doesn't sound that tasty, but don't let it fool you, Honey & Ginger is delicious. While it can be used as a spread or glaze, it excels as a quick drink - just add to hot water and have yourself a soothing drink. Especially good when you have a cold.
