Med Podillia Hrechanyi med
Buckwheat honey from the Vinnytsia company Med Podillia.
Med Podillia Hrechanyi med is a buckwheat honey from the Vinnytsia company Med Podillia. Bees make it from the nectar of flowering buckwheat, a common farm crop in Ukraine; according to the company, a hectare of buckwheat yields about 60 kg of honey.
The honey has a distinctive tart aroma, and its colour ranges from reddish yellow to dark brown. The company describes the taste as spicy, with a slight tickle in the throat. Buckwheat honey crystallises faster than other varieties, turning into a soft, porridge-like mass. Its harvest follows on from the end of the linden flow. In the producer's photo the dark honey sits in plastic tubs.
Why this matters to you: buckwheat honey thickens quickly, so if you prefer runny honey, buy smaller packs and expect crystallisation.
