Tamarisk honey is a dark, rich, and highly distinctive honey made from the nectar of the Tamarisk (or Saltcedar) tree, commonly found in arid regions, especially the Mediterranean, Middle East (like Egypt and Morocco), and Southwestern US. It has a robust, complex flavor that is often described as less sweet, with notes of molasses, malt, horehound, and sometimes a slightly smoky, earthy, or herbal undertone. Due to its bold, complex profile, it pairs wonderfully with strong, salty cheeses (like blue cheese and aged Gorgonzola) and is excellent for caramelizing onions, using in savory glazes for grilled meats, or as a substitute for molasses in baked goods.
All our honey is raw and unfiltered, which may be crystalized upon delivery. This is a natural process that honey goes through.
You can safely reverse the crystallization with a warm water bath:
This method uses low, indirect heat to melt the crystals without damaging the honey’s flavor or beneficial enzymes (especially important for raw honey).
1. Prepare the Water: Fill a pot with water. The water level should be high enough to cover the crystallized honey in the jar, but well below the rim/lid of the jar.
2. Heat Gently: Heat the water on the stove until it is very warm, but do not let it boil or even simmer vigorously. The ideal temperature to preserve the quality of raw honey is around 95-110F.
Submerge the Jar: Turn off the heat or remove the pot from the burner. Place the glass jar of honey (with the lid removed or loosened) into the warm water bath.
Pro Tip: To prevent the glass from cracking from a sudden temperature change, you can place the jar in the pot before you start heating the water.
