Oregon Carrot Blossom Honey
Carrot Honey has a wonderful aroma, sharper than most, almost like an exotic wood. It has a strong flavor, which will initially impress you as caramel; but then begins the intriguing journey of aftertaste. It’s a little like tasting what rain smells like. There is a strong root flavor with a sweet and earthy finish. If you really like your honey flavor to stand out on foods, look no further.
Carrot Honey is great for cooking. We use carrot honey in some of our favorite recipes including cookies, bread, and stir-frys. Brewers, you will love this one too. Carrot blossom honey is one of the best for making meads and other brews winning countless awards in mead and beer competitions! It is an uncommon honey, so brewers cherish it and often guard it jealously. If you haven’t already, give this honey a try!
Note: Our Carrot Blossom Honey is pure, raw, and unadulterated, and may crystalize as a result. This is to be expected of natural honey and does not impact the usability of the product.

This is the best and most delectably floral honey I have ever had the pleasure of tasting, fermenting, and devouring. It definitely has a distinctive taste, but there is certainly nothing off-putting about said distinctive taste, as I keep returning to it again and again. I received a small amount as a birthday gift and returned to this same vendor to purchase 24 pounds within the year. It has made some fantastic mead and complements many fruits I have paired it with.
Strongly recommend– I don’t know/understand/care why it is one of the cheapest honeys this vendor offers, but capitalize.

Purchased a 2 gallon tub for a strong 5 gallon batch of mead. One of the best meads I’ve ever made, that earthy undertone bloomed into a lovely complexity once the sugars had fermented out allowing a more prominent place in the flavor profile. Family liked it so much I had to order another tub.

I ordered this really not having any idea what to expect and was delighted when I tasted it. The description seems a bit hesitant to recommend this variety noted that it has a strong flavor, but I think that’s being overly caution. The flavor is delicious! Instead I’d say anyone who likes honey that doesn’t just taste like sweet liquid will most likely enjoy this one. Yes, it does have a distinct flavor and I think most people could pick it out in a blind tasting. But doesn’t that sounds like a good thing? Meaning, honey you can identify seems like tha goal. That and a blind honey tasting sounds like a lot of fun too. 🙂

This honey is delicious! I don’t even know how to describe it, to be honest! It’s subtly warm and earthy, with hints dessert baking spices like nutmeg and allspice. To me, “neutral” varieties like wildflower and clover have always tasted *good*, but like they’re lacking something complex to make them delicious. This honey tastes like it has that perfect extra something that wildflower/clover lack. I plan to make mead with this in the near future, but I keep sneaking small tastes of it whenever I go in my pantry.
Flying Bee shipped it to me quickly, at a great price and with a handwritten thank you card. I couldn’t ask for better service. Thanks!

Every grape mead I’ve used this in has picked up a gold medal in competitions. Highly underrated quality honey with wonderful caramel, baking spice, and earthy notes that is excellent for making mead. Love ordering from Flying Bee and the Thank You note they put in with every shipment is always appreciated!
