Creamed Honey

Description

Regal Creamed Honey.  Glass Jar.  400g.

Kelly & Zac from Regal Honey are based in Lake Macquarie – an area where bees were wiped out due to the Verroa virus.  Getting back on track they currently have beehives in Mudgee & Glen Oak a hamlet in the foothills of the Barrington Tops National Park, NSW.  The bees feed mostly off Australian bush native flora & eucalypt trees.  It produces a medium strength honey ideal for toast, tea & baking.

There is no cream in creamed honey.  Liquid honey is whipped to a thicker consistency until it becomes creamy.  It is labour intensive to make.  Not all honey producers will take the time & make the effort to cream their honey.  It changes the taste slightly.  Some people who don’t like honey, enjoy the taste & texture of creamed honey & this one is delicious.  A good creamed honey is light in colour, with a little froth on top of the jar.  If your creamed honey separates due to heat, give it a stir and place in the fridge to reset.
