ABC Lehua Honey
$18.00
Lehua (lay-who-ah) is the name for the red, orange, yellow or white flowers of the Hawaiian ‘Ohi’a lehua tree. After a lava flow the ‘Ohi’a tree is the first to take root. It’s said that the minerals in the volcanic rock combined with the salty ocean air is what contributes to the salty mineral taste of Lehua Honey.
Lehua Honey is golden in color with a silky mouthfeel. It has notes of butterscotch and salted caramel. Prized for it’s beautiful fragrance and taste, this honey truly captures the essence of Hawaii. This honey also tends to crystallize fairly quickly due to the high glucose to fructose ratio. Some prefer it crystallized as it adds to the salty quality.

Purchased a large jar of this about a year and a half ago and just ran out! It is so unique and delicious – especially drizzled over cheese and crackers! If you love sweet/salty combos, this is the honey for you! Planning to reorder!!!

This honey is amazing with cheese. I’m sorry to see it’s out of stock right now!

Is it cheating to leave two reviews? Sarah kindly let me know this was back in stock so I bought the max allowed jars. They shipped fast enough to arrive Christmas Eve and I feel so fortunate and honey rich now 🙂 Cheese shopping is in my future and I’ll spread the lehua honey love by gifting one or two to friends.
