Macadamia Honey

• Packager:           The Big Island Bee Company, LLC  82-5780 Napoopoo Road #100, Captain Cook, HI 96704 (808) 328-1315.  www.bigislandbees.com  
• Nectar Origin:   Hawaii.
• Color:                No color given.  My guess is Light Amber, although it looks much darker in the jar.
• US Grade:         None.
• Filtration:           Raw.
• Price:                 About $13.00/pound.  
• Flavor:              The label describes it as "sweet and nutty, with a soft, velvety texture."  That is probably the nicest thing you can say about it.  As you would expect, the first taste that hits your tongue is sweet.  I can understand the nutty description, but what is missing is a description of the aftertaste which is a musty flavor.  My first thought was urine, but I've never tasted that.  If you are in Hawaii, I recommend picking up Kaiwe honey over this one.  A big thanks to the Case family for this souvenir from their trip to Hawaii.
