I just got to thinking that I should probably make a post about which honey I use. I add it to a lot of recipes and it's local, so I will give them some credit too. You know how eating local honey (I think they recommend 1 t. a day) can help with allergies. Well, I've been trying that for a while now. It does for the most part seem to be helping too. Plus, I get to help support a local bee keeper and their yummy honey!
Ok, so it is called "
Copoco's Honey" and it's in North Fort Collins. They actually have a cute "hive" outside that they do some teaching in. Adorable I know. :) They've only had this store for about a year, but they've been keeping bees for some years I guess. They were super friendly and helpful too. (Alway a plus in my book of course!)
Did you know that there are actually a lot of different varieties of honey? To me it's a lot like beer. Not in taste of course, but with the variety. The lighter ones are less pungent and the darker ones are richer in flavor--more robust you could say. Then some of theirs are pollenated differently and from different types of sources. Check out
their site for more info.
Personally I think I like this one the best. It's better than just your garden variety you'll find at the store, but still not too strong. :) Happy tasting...
