Hawthorn honey: properties of hawthorn honey
Hawthorn honey has a strong smell and an unobtrusive, balanced taste: it is less sweet than, for example, rapeseed honey (due to which hawthorn honey slowly crystallizes), besides it has a piquant bitterness.
The consistency of hawthorn honey is creamy, while its color can be different, up to white.
In cooking, hawthorn honey can be used for universal purposes, however, given the value of the product, it is recommended to use it in its natural form together with warm tea.
