K&A Honey Bracatinga Honeydew Honey

Bracatinga honeydew honey from K&A Honey, a US seller of Brazilian honey. Bracatinga (Mimosa scabrella) is a tree of the Southern Brazilian Plateau, and this is a honeydew honey: the bees gather honeydew, the sugary excretion of sap-feeding insects on the trees, rather than flower nectar. The seller says that makes it darker than blossom honey, with a bold, resinous flavor and a smooth texture, and slower to crystallize. It is sold raw in an 8.47 oz jar. Its strong flavor suits rye or whole-grain bread, spiced chai, or a glaze for roast pork.
