For 9,000 years we have been collecting honey from the honeybee. Known as the "nectar of the gods" by the Greeks, this was the only sweetener for people of antiquity. igourmet represents over 30 unique types of honey from around the globe. Our repertoire of artisinal honeys have unique regional flavors, consistency, and can be used in various ways. We have chosen three pure honeys (Girasole Honey, Patagonia Forest Honey and Wild Oaks Honey) for this collection that contain different characteristics to meet the needs of any gourmand.
- Girasole Honey by IL Forteto: A creamy sunflower honey from Mugello, Tuscany. (1.1 lb)
- Patagonia Forest Honey: Honey from the pristine forests of Patagonia in Argentina. The honey obtained from these woods has an intense crystal color that expresses the contrast of this amazing region. (10.7 oz.)
- Wild Oak Honey: An organic honey produced by The Valls family of Catlonia, Spain. A thick (but pourable) honey flavored by the flowering wild oaks in the area. This dark colored nectar is rich, floral, and caramelly. (17.86 fl. oz)

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
My tongue absolutely loved the delicate flavors in these honeys. The Patagonia honey was so thick it was almost like sugar, but had a smooth sweetness on bread. I found the rich taste of the wild oak reminding me of the scents of spring flowers in the forest. The flavor of the Tuscan sunflower honey was pure sunshine, and my absolute favorite. I experimented with these by having them with my mountain gorgonzola and the different tastes each one brought out of the combination was sinful.
