Sage Honey

  • Packager:         Honey Pacifica, 4208 Pepperwood, Long Beach, California  USA  90808  Tel. (562) 938-9706  http://www.honeypacifica.com
  • Nectar Origin:   California, USA
  • Color:                Extra Light Amber
  • US Grade:         The label says "U.S. Choice."  I can't find that in the Standards for Grades of Extracted Honey published by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
  • Filtration:           Raw.
  • Price:                 I bought mine for $10.00/pound.  The company's website sells this for $12.00/pound.
  • Flavor:               Had I been blindfolded I would have guessed that this was clover honey.  It does not appear to me to have any of the flavor notes of the mint family, of which sage is a member.  There is a certain "chewiness" to this honey.  It has a nice buttery, butterscotch-like flavor.
