California Lavender Honey Farm Yellow Star Thistle Honey

Raw yellow star thistle honey from California Lavender Honey Farm in San Miguel, California, in northern San Luis Obispo County. It is the farm's fall harvest honey, sold raw, unfiltered and never heated. Yellow star thistle (Centaurea solstitialis) is a summer-blooming plant of dry California grassland. The producer describes the honey as unique, bright, sparkly and multi-dimensional, and quotes Food & Wine magazine calling it the Champagne of honeys. Sold in a 1.5 lb glass jar, with sales tax included in the price. Try it on buttered toast, with fresh goat cheese, or stirred into black tea.
