The Best Honey for Baking, Tea, and Cheese Boards
Not all honey works equally well in every application. Here's how to use our two varieties to get the most out of every jar.
Sourwood: The Finishing Honey
Light, buttery, floral — with notes of caramel and warm spice. Use it where honey is the star:
- Tea: Dissolves cleanly without overpowering. Add after brewing to preserve enzymes.
- Cheese boards: The definitive pairing honey. Exceptional with aged cheddar, brie, and blue cheese.
- Drizzling: Yogurt, oatmeal, pancakes, roasted vegetables, warm biscuits.
- Gifting: It's the honey that makes people ask "what is this?"
Wildflower: The Workhorse Honey
Bold, complex, earthy — holds up through heat and pairs with stronger flavors:
- Baking: Breads, muffins, granola, glazes. Subtle nuances get lost in heat — save Sourwood for finishing.
- Everyday use: Toast, PB&J, morning spoonful. Available year-round.
- Stronger teas: Black tea, chai — Wildflower holds its own.
- Goat cheese pairing: The earthiness complements fresh chèvre beautifully.
