Mossop's Comb Honey
Comb honey from Mossop's Honey, gathered on fields and farms of the Bay of Plenty, New Zealand, 340 g box.
Comb Honey from Mossop's is honey in natural comb, which the producer calls the least processed honey it offers, taken straight from the hive. The comb is gathered from fields and farms in the Bay of Plenty. Flavour depends on the season: Mossop's says it can be pasture or rewarewa, sometimes with notes of wild berry such as blackberry. The wax is entirely edible. Because comb honey is seasonal, supply can be short after a poor year. The clear box holds not less than 340 g, and the label advises storing it in a warm place, not in the fridge. The producer suggests spreading it on toast or bread, serving it on crackers with cheese, using it as a garnish or eating it on its own.
Why this matters to you: comb shows honey exactly as the bees left it, wax cells and all.
