Sheefa Raw Tamarisk Blossom Honey

Raw tamarisk honey from Sheefa, a small raw-honey seller in Anaheim, California, that bottles California-produced varietals. Tamarisk, also called saltcedar, is a shrubby tree introduced from Eurasia that now lines rivers and washes across the arid Southwest. Sheefa describes the honey as dark brown, like freshly brewed coffee, and not excessively sweet, with hints of malt, molasses, root beer and horehound. It is sold as 100% raw honey. Pair it with strong cheeses such as blue cheese and gorgonzola, or add it to onions as they caramelize.
