Ontario Honey Varietals

Taste the terroir of Ontario honey

Many honey producers mix all their honey in a big vat for consistency and palatability, but I believe honey is way more fascinating when we keep different varieties, seasons, and locations separate! Here’s a (theoretical) list of honey varietals that may exist in Ontario. Let’s work together to figure out what we’ve got and market it effectively!
Much of the information presented below is adapted from the works of reknowned honey sommelier and founder of the American Honey Tasting Society, C Marina Marchesi.
