The Taste of Honey - Where Does Honey Come From?

Honey tastes of bees buzzing around flowers and their careful work with the nectar. Of the plants that were in bloom when the bee passed by. Of the sun and the rain, of warmth and cold. Honey is diversity in flavour and aroma, in texture and colour, and belongs to a universe comparable to the complex taste worlds surrounding wine, beer and chocolate.

The difference in taste between the delicate spring honey and the powerful late-summer honey is significant. Likewise, the difference between mild rapeseed honey and robust heather honey is also large. But what determines the taste of honey and how do you describe it? And which types of honey suit particular dishes?

Karin Gutfelt, a beekeeper and biologist, provides information in this book on how nectar becomes honey and on the world of bees. The book also contains recipes where honey is an essential and important ingredient.
