Savory Spring Honey

Savory Spring Single-Source Honey captures a fleeting moment in late May, just as the dandelions fade and the Buckthorn and Grey Dogwood begin to bloom. This raw, seasonal honey boasts a rich, maple-caramel flavor that reflects the complexity of spring’s wild landscape.

Gathered from a single apiary during a narrow bloom window, this honey embodies our commitment to single-source purity, each jar traces back to one hive location during a specific springtime flow. The result is a deeply flavorful honey that’s perfect with mild cheeses, swirled into tea, or drizzled over warm, buttered toast.

As a raw and unheated honey, it retains its natural enzymes and beneficial properties. Depending on the season, it may appear liquid, partially crystallized, or fully crystallized. For tips on gently warming raw honey, please visit our FAQ section for directions for how to liquefy raw honey.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ames Farm’s Savory Spring Honey

What makes Ames Farm’s Savory Spring Honey unique?

Savory Spring Honey is harvested during a narrow window in late May, just as spring transitions to early summer. The bees forage on Buckthorn and Grey Dogwood blossoms, creating a raw honey with a rich maple-caramel flavor that’s unlike any other. Its bold, savory-sweet profile is a direct result of our single-source harvesting process and the unique floral sources of Minnesota’s spring landscape.

Is Ames Farm’s Savory Spring Honey raw?

Yes, Savory Spring Honey is completely raw and unheated. We do not pasteurize or overly filter our honey, which helps preserve the natural enzymes, antioxidants, and nutrients that make raw honey so beneficial. This also means it may crystallize over time, which is perfectly natural and safe.

What does Savory Spring Honey taste like?

Savory Spring Honey has a deep, robust flavor with notes of maple and caramel, layered with a subtle herbal complexity. It reflects the unique spring flora of Minnesota and offers a more savory profile compared to lighter floral honeys. It pairs beautifully with tea, toast, and soft cheeses.

What does “single-source honey” mean, and why does it matter?

Single-source honey means that the honey in each jar comes from one hive location and one floral bloom period—no blending, no mixing from multiple sources. This preserves the unique flavor of a specific nectar flow and provides a true taste of the environment and season from which it came. For Savory Spring Honey, that flavor is rooted in the late spring blooms of Buckthorn and Grey Dogwood.
