It is also an excellent choice for cooking because of its mild flavor and because it mixes easily in liquids and batters. It has hints of vanilla flavor and no aftertaste.

One of my favorite ways to use this honey is on a piece of crusty bread. I will usually split the loaf, toast the bread to a golden color, and then slather a dollop of rich, creamy butter on top. Then I will drizzle Acacia honey over this tasty, earthy treat. Yummy. I like to eat it with a hunk of salty cheese and a glass of wine……. heaven…..!!
