Brassica & Meadowfoam

$ 9.00

This honey will crystallize VERY quickly or may be already crystallized upon arrival.

This honey varietal derived primarily from turnip and canola (Brassica napus) and meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) nectar was harvested in late May or early June from a Tangent apiary near Corvallis, OR. It is available in 8 oz (BPA-free) plastic squeeze bottles and 22 oz glass jars. This honey crystallizes very quickly.

The town of Tangent is at the heart of the grass seed growing region in the Willamette Valley. Farmer Cody Younger rotates vegetable seed, oilseed, and cover crops through his grass seed fields.

Meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba Benth.) is a low, almost succulent-like plant native to Oregon and California that naturally grows in vernal pools. If you’ve ever driven through the Willamette Valley in June, you’ve probably noticed blindingly white fields of meadowfoam in bloom. Nearly all commercially produced meadowfoam seed is grown in Oregon’s Willamette Valley. After the seed is harvested in early summer, it is pressed into an oil that is mostly used in cosmetics.

Meadowfoam honey is widely known for its strong vanilla and/or marshmallow flavors. Most commercially available meadowfoam honey is extracted after the blackberry bloom, so it can be more subdued and marshmallowy. 

Honey is never heated over natural hive temperatures, and we only filter it minimally, so it may include pollen, small wax particles, and the occasional bee bit. All natural honey will solidify eventually. To liquify, place the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water. Our honeys are never flavored or infused with added ingredients. The varietal names indicate the primary nectar source plants the bees were foraging on at the time of honey production.  

If you intend to buy this honey as a gift, please include a note for the recipient at checkout.
