This honey is our strongest flavor and is mostly buckwheat but has some clover as well which makes this a more mild buckwheat. True Buckwheat is almost black in color. This buckwheat has a malty almost chocolate or molasses flavor and is really lovely in baked goods. It has a pleasant medium crystal structure which makes it really nice by the spoonful. I find this to be a nice starter buckwheat since pure buckwheat can be almost bitter and pungent. Melted this buckwheat is more the color of chocolate.
