Black Locust Honey is light and floral, with a delicate sweetness and prominent vanilla flavor profile. Produced from the nectar of the black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) tree, which is an important source of food for bees in the Northeastern United States. These trees are very adaptive and grow in a wide range of environments, leading them to be invasive in some locales - though, they’re very beneficial for improving soil quality and providing a habitat for song birds, small mammals, and producing nectar for pollinators.
We recommend trying this honey on biscuits and French toast, drizzled over mild cheeses, spooned over ricotta and fresh fruit, and mixed into butter with vanilla bean and spread onto crusty bread.
