Dutch Gold Honey Buckwheat, 16 oz

Buckwheat honey is darker and has a stronger taste than clover honey. I grew up eating it and it was my grandmother's preferred honey for baking. I use it to make honey cakes and to soothe sore throats. Highly recommend this brand.

I hated honey initially but now I have been liking it more and more. In part I think this is due to ditching corn-syrup clover "honey" and trying to get some more flavorful and real stuff. This honey is very interesting, has a bold molasses forward taste that I enjoy. Worth a try if you are looking to extend your honey palette. Does not mention being pasteurized or not which would be helpful especially for those who may be pregnant etc although there are not conclusive studies one way or another on that. Dutch gold has their own website and it seems like a company that is looking to get some quality honey at a reasonable pricepoint. Depending on how much you bake with honey you may want a larger bottle but this size has worked well for me for toast and other applications. The spout of the honey does not have one of those little stoppers but I have not found it to be overly messy.

Wow! this is by far the strongest flavor of any honey in my collection. Beats the pants off of even Manuka. I can't say I love it, but it is REALLY different! Unlike most honeys that you cannot tell the difference in the dark, this one you can tell instantly by taste or even smell. And if it is not in the dark, you can tell it across the room by its extraordinarily dark color. At first I didn't like it, and thought it was just TOO strong, TOO strange. But I did not give up, and learned to use it not as a simple sweetener, but to add its own unique flavor to oatmeal, cream of wheat, milk drinks, and black teas. A tiny bit even adds a mysterious note to savory soups that will keep your guests guessing. It goes well in some teas, while ruins other teas, It does have one other positive unintentional effect. I am so very careful about the quantity due to its powerful flavor that I use much less than other honeys, so it lowers my sugar intake. Just a very little is enough. I have learned to like it, because it is so very different. However unless you are sure you like this honey, I recommend you try the small 1 lb bottle at first. (honey is heavy so 1 pound actually IS a small bottle). Try even smaller if you can find it, in case you are not as experimental as I am.

This is amazing! I've been adding some to my cottage cheese and I love it. It has a rich nutty flavor. Don't expect the sweet honey flavor you're used to. It's such an enjoyable way to be healthy

The product quality is as advertised. I will purchase and continue to use the product.

I live on the west coast, and stronger honeys like buckwheat can very rarely be found in grocery stores. This honey has so much more depth of flavor than your standard clover or wildflower varieties. It works especially well for making honey ice cream with a deep, rich flavor. I also like to pour it over Greek yogurt.

This product is excellent for a sore throat and a cough.

this honey has a specific taste, but I love buckwheat taste! Recommend to try
