We first started writing this blog under the cover of relative obscurity, (before we became really big bitches- at least that’s what they say about us now), we wrote about experimenting with rough raw stuff. We were addicted pouring big money into our habit, we tried everything we could get our hands on. Some of the stuff was nasty, dirty looking, foul tasting–sure to make us ill. Some of the stuff was so refined and processed we felt nothing. Then we found perfection. It was as though Smokey the Bear married Marshmallow Fluff.
Oh!
We forgot to mention we’re talking about honey. Raw honey. For those of you who missed our earlier ranting and raving on the pleasure of yummy raw honey we thought we’d share our earlier post hoping that you’ll share with us your favorite honey variety. Enjoy!
You know our obsession with finding the little things that make a bitch happy. That spoonful of sugar…well, not sugar anymore if we can help it. These days we’re all about honey. No, we’re not members of the healthy food police, but we do like to eat as well as we can. For example, when given the choice we take brown over white rice and wheat over white bread. Organic over non-organic. Unprocessed over processed. And honey over sugar in all the right places: in our tea, spread on toasted Eli’s health loaf, baked into our favorite ancho chili blue corn bread recipe (we’ll share, we promise). We’ve been experimenting with raw honey. Interesting. We’ve tried it all. We’ve explored the gamut of ‘raw’ honey—from the kind with a faintly feral hive odor and bits of bees in it (at least we thought we came upon wings and stingers) to a very pricey, waxy, raw clover blend with a bland odorless flavor. We’ve worked hard to find you the world’s best most delicious honey…and in our search we discovered something divine. It’s a lovely blend of that classic Smokey the Bear-container honey, fragrant wildflowers, and marshmallow fluff. 365 Organics Wildflower Raw Honey from Whole Foods is the one we love!
Tell us about your favorite raw honey and where you buy it.

I am not trying to spam you but you asked to “Tell us about your favorite raw honey and where you buy it” so I will;

Loovvee King’s Florida Country Wildflower raw Honey. Local co King’s PO Box 3873 Winter Haven Fl 33885 Great stuff, and I always buy the raw because I have been told it has natural antibiotic and immunity properties you can’t get w/ the cooked stuff! I get it at my local produce stand. YUMMY! Laurie Riverview FL
We use Y.S. Organic Bee Farms 100% Certified Organic Honey. The honey is from Brazil (which I didn’t know until checking the label to write this comment) but I have to say I am impressed. The farm is owned by a company in Illinois and certified organic by the Organic Crop Improvement Association out of Lincoln, NE. This is “unheated true raw state unprocessed” honey. It is creamy and sweet, but not over-powering. I absolutely love this stuff. We get it from one of our local organic farmers. She told me that she looked long and hard and tried many different varieties before picking this one to sell at her spot at the farmer’s market. I think she made the right choice.
