Raw Unfiltered Louisiana Garden Honey

Garden Honey

Imagine the taste of the vibrant, blossoming gardens of Louisiana captured in a jar. Double Dane Homestead Raw Unfiltered Louisiana Garden Honey is a pure expression of the nectars gathered by our bees from the diverse array of flowers that thrive in our gardens, from fragrant herbs and colorful ornamentals to fruit trees and vegetable blossoms.

Like its woodland counterpart, this honey remains in its most natural state. The "raw" designation signifies that it hasn't been heated or pasteurized, preserving its delicate enzymes, beneficial pollen, and natural antioxidants. You might notice fine particles suspended within, a hallmark of its unprocessed nature and the diligent work of the bees as they forage.

The "unfiltered" aspect means this honey may retain its natural cloudiness and will contain microscopic specks of beeswax or propolis. These elements contribute to its unique character and a more full-bodied taste experience. The texture can vary from a smooth, flowing liquid to a naturally granulated consistency, a testament to the pureness of the honey and its natural sugar composition. Gentle warming can easily restore it to a liquid state.

The flavor profile of our garden honey is often brighter and more floral than woodland honey, reflecting the different nectar sources. You might detect sweet notes with hints of specific blossoms like citrus from fruit trees, the subtle herbal undertones from garden herbs like rosemary or basil, or the delicate sweetness of flowering vines. Each batch can offer a unique snapshot of what was blooming in our gardens during the bees' foraging period.

The color can range from a pale gold to a richer amber, influenced by the dominant nectar sources. Similarly, the aroma will be a fragrant bouquet reminiscent of blooming flowers, bringing the essence of a Louisiana garden to your senses.

By choosing Double Dane Homestead garden honey, you're not only enjoying a delicious and natural sweetener but also supporting a local beekeeper and the vital role bees play in pollinating our gardens and landscapes right here in Louisiana. It's a taste of the garden, a direct connection to the beauty and bounty of our local flora, just as the bees created it.
