Airborne Vipers Bugloss Honey

Viper's bugloss honey from Airborne Honey, a New Zealand honey company sold in the US through its own store in Ventura, California. Viper's bugloss (Echium vulgare), also commonly called borage, covers the hills of the central South Island in brilliant blue each summer; the plant takes its name from a seed that resembles a viper's head. Airborne describes the honey as delicate in flavour with a chewy texture, and suggests keeping a jar in the refrigerator so it firms into a chewy treat. Use it where a gentle honey should not mask other flavours: in green tea, over fresh berries, or on buttered toast.
