Tamarisk Raw Honey
Tamarisk is a pesky tree perhaps, but its feather-like purple blooms provide a rich source of food for the bees in the desert. Shiny black in color, think of Tamarisk as the Irish Stout of the honey world. On the palate this honey has note of molasses, coffee, and licorice. This is for those who eat bold.
Tamarisk, also know as Salt Cedar is a pine like tree that grows all along the Rio Grande river from Northern New Mexico to the Gulf of Mexico. Currently, tamerisk honey is collected near Socorro, NM along the Rio Grande. In recent years New Mexico, however, has been aggressively trying to eradicate the tree. In the future the apiary plans to move the Tamerisk producing bees to the Pecos river valley in Texas where the tree is still thriving.
- No honey should be fed to infants 12 months or younger.
