Honey types
|
Many people expect the same taste from the same kind of honey but because it is produced naturally, as wine is, its flavor and colour differs every year. It mostly depends on the weather and of course on the plant but the same kind of flower from a distant region can make a difference to the flavour as well. That is why the same kind of honey from other beekeepers may not produce the same experience. Now you can see why it is so hard to describe the flavour of a honey. Take my advice and just pick the one that best suits your taste.

Central European honey types
Acacia honey has a harmonious taste. It is sweet, mellow, less acidic compared to other honeys and its taste is as luscious as the acacia flower. Its colour ranges from light yellow to almost colorless. It contains a significant amount of fructose and can therefore stay liquid for a very long time. It is also very good at sterilising and is recommended for curing coughs.
Chestnut honey is famous for containing the highest level of minerals of all honeys. It has a yellowish-brownish colour and is scented by its flower. Its smooth sweet bitter aftertaste makes it
Canola honey is yellow in colour and even though the fresh honey is liquid, it becomes hard (like butter) relatively quickly and changes its shade to white BUT never loses its enjoyable taste characteristics. It contains very little natural acid it therefore serves as a remedy for people with stomach problems.
Linden Honey. Although its coloration depends on the time of collection, differing from the beginning of the flowering season to the end, its taste is very revealing. It is commonly used for spicing dishes and wine, giving them strong character. It is also used to relieve fever and muscle cramp
Spring wildflower honey is mostly a great combination of wild cherry, hawthorn, wild rose and acacia flowers. It comes in a light colour, with a pleasing aroma and savoury taste
Silkweed flower honey is known in Latin as Asclepias syriaca's nectar. It is a pronounced condiment honey with a pleasing strong scent and taste. It is excellent for spicing raw dishes, oh my, what a taste?! NOW THAT'S A REAL 'HUNGARICUM'
Mixed flower honey is golden yellow and gets darker with time. Transforming it into cream honey makes for a wonderful delicacy. It's excellent for cooking and a good cordial as well. It's a must for people with sensitive stomachs!
Phacelia tanacetifolia is a species of phacelia known by the common name lacy phacelia. It's light scent and color brigs back the flawor of the phacelia pollen's character. It stays liquid for a while. Fine delicacy just as it is.
