Dutch Gold Honey Buckwheat, 16 oz

Got this last night. Tried it right away. This is delicious. Someone said before it was like blackstrap molasses, but the molasses is so much stronger. Don’t be afraid to try.

Very strong flavor so you don't need as much as most other honeys.

My son had one of those colds that goes away in a few days but leaves a lingering cough for a week or so. I didn't want him taking acetaminophen if he didn't have aches or fever, so a friend suggested dark or buckwheat honey. It's actually helped him at night and coats the throat without taking medine he doesn't need.

This is pretty good buckwheat honey. It's not the strongest, best flavor that I've had. But, it's close and it's the most reasonably priced.

I hated honey initially but now I have been liking it more and more. In part I think this is due to ditching corn-syrup clover "honey" and trying to get some more flavorful and real stuff. This honey is very interesting, has a bold molasses forward taste that I enjoy. Worth a try if you are looking to extend your honey palette. Does not mention being pasteurized or not which would be helpful especially for those who may be pregnant etc although there are not conclusive studies one way or another on that. Dutch gold has their own website and it seems like a company that is looking to get some quality honey at a reasonable pricepoint. Depending on how much you bake with honey you may want a larger bottle but this size has worked well for me for toast and other applications. The spout of the honey does not have one of those little stoppers but I have not found it to be overly messy.

Buckwheat honey is darker and has a stronger taste than clover honey. I grew up eating it and it was my grandmother's preferred honey for baking. I use it to make honey cakes and to soothe sore throats. Highly recommend this brand.

I am one of the reviewers that does not like the taste of Buckwheat honey, but have found it to have great medical value. To me, it tastes like a mix of blackstrap molasses and poor grade motor oil. The smell is indefinable, and not in a good way. I take this it strictly for medicinal purposes. As a teacher, I am regularly exposed to upper respiratory illnesses. Some can be hard to knock, especially the coughing. Buckwheat honey is the ONLY thing that has worked to help me sleep and recover quickly. The intolerable taste can be overcome by mixing a tablespoon of honey with pineapple juice and then drinking it fast. A moment of bad taste with effective healing is far better than endless rounds of antibiotics, sinus and allergy medicines, sleepless nights and misery.

I live on the west coast, and stronger honeys like buckwheat can very rarely be found in grocery stores. This honey has so much more depth of flavor than your standard clover or wildflower varieties. It works especially well for making honey ice cream with a deep, rich flavor. I also like to pour it over Greek yogurt.
