Do you know the difference between honey?

Honey is not just honey. Just as wine and coffee have different nuances and flavor profiles, honey also varies in taste, color and texture depending on which flowers the bees have visited to collect nectar. Each type of honey is a unique flavor experience, which is why there is a world of difference in honey.

Different species of flowers, trees and plants give off different nectars with varying flavors and aromas, which bees are experts at transforming into a wide range of flavorful honey varieties, ranging from mild and delicate to intense and powerful in flavor.

Solid honey

Solid honey is a treasure from nature that brings a natural and unique sweetness to the table. With its creamy and silky texture, solid honey is a taste experience like no other. Honeys become solid in consistency when bees collect their nectar from flowers with a relatively high glucose content.

Solid honey comes in different varieties depending on the bees' pollen and nectar source. Each variety has a unique flavor and aroma that reflects the flowers the bees have visited.

The firm consistency makes solid honey ideal for spreading on bread, buns or biscuits. You can also enjoy it with cheeses or as a sweetener in your baked goods.

Liquid honey

Many honeys come in liquid varieties. Liquid honeys are known for their smooth and fluid consistency. A honey achieves a liquid consistency when bees collect their nectar from flowers with a high fructose content. The honey will vary in both taste and color depending on the flowers the bees have visited.

The liquid consistency of honey makes it easy to use and mix into different recipes. You can drizzle it over pancakes, yogurt or fresh fruit to add a natural sweetness to your breakfast. Liquid honey is also suitable as a substitute for sugar in cooking, adding a sweet and mild honey flavor.

With our flavor wheel below, you can learn a lot more about how to use the right honeys in your cooking.
