Article: Artisan honey creating a buzz.(Food)

Byline: Deborah Pankey Daily Herald Food Editor dpankey@dailyherald.com

Next time you drizzle honey on an English muffin, look at the honey. I mean really look at it. Does it have reddish highlights, an amber hue or a pale straw tone? Is the scent reminiscent of lavender, clover, alfalfa? Does the honey glide smoothly across your palate or brush your taste buds with delicate crystals?

One is not necessarily better than the other. The point here is that honey, like wine, is a product of its environment and in this age of back-to-simpler-times food production, honey afficionados want consumers to know that all honey doesnAEt, well, look like honey.
