Clark's Wildflower (Alfalfa) Honey

  • Packager:           Clark's Honey Farm, P.O. Box 270193, Louisville, CO 80027 USA (866) 444-6639  www.clarkshoneyfarm.com
  • Nectar Origin:   Rock Mountain West, USA
  • Color:                No color given.  To me this honey looks white or extra white.    
  • US Grade:         None.
  • Filtration:           Raw.
  • Price:                 About $5.25/pound.  
  • Flavor:               The label says wildflower, but the packager's website indicates this is primarily alfalfa honey, so this must be what hay tastes like.  When I think about hay and how it smells, I can taste a slight note of that in this honey.  Maybe if I lived on a farm I would have more readily recognized it. Mostly the taste is assertive (it has a little bite to it), a bit spicy (like the complex flavors of spice cake) and floral.  The floral taste reminds me of elderflower.  Finally, a belated thanks to the Williams family for this present.
