Hawaiian Kiawe Honey

  • Packager:          Volcano Island Honey Company, LLC, 66-1250 Laiamilo Farm Road, Kamuela, Hawaii  96743 USA (888) 663-6639 www.volcanoislandhoney.com
  • Nectar Origin:   Hawaii
  • Color:               My guess is White.
  • US Grade:        None listed.
  • Filtration:          Raw
  • Price:                $34.00/pound 
  • Flavor:              What stands out about this honey is its pearly white color, silky smooth texture, and strong floral smell.  Kiawe is a relative of the mesquite tree, but the flavor isn't anything like mesquite honey.  It is a very sweet honey with a flowery taste and notes that remind me of white cake batter.  Apparently the Kiawe tree is endangered, so don't put this purchase off too long.
