California Black Button Sage honey is light in color and flavor with a rich taste and subtle herbal notes. This honey has a non-crystallizing quality and is considered to be quite rare due to the type of conditions needed to make the plant grow. We love the lightness and floral hints that can be tasted in every drop. You’ll appreciate the versatility of this honey, both as a stand alone product and as your go-to honey for anything you’re cooking.

How to use

Rare honey cultivated in Coastal California.

Black Button Sage grows in Coastal California’s scrubland and chaparral plant communities, earning the name from the pillowy “buttons” of purple flowerets that grow on its tall stalks. Only a few of the flowerets bloom at one time on each stem, so this native plant provides a consistent nectar source for honeybees from February through June. Sage requires an especially arid habitat with as much early spring rain as possible to grow, which makes Californian Black Button Sage a rare honey.

We test everything we sell. Here’s how we’d use this.

HOW TO USE

Use anywhere you would use honey such as: in baked goods like Double Chocolate Cake with Honey-Rosemary Syrup or on biscuits with butter. Use in a honey butter as we do in Moroccan Semolina Flatbreads or in vinagrettes such as our Honey, Mustard and Ginger Vinaigrette. Try it in cold treats like this Créme Fraîche and Honey Ice Cream. Work it into vegetable dishes like these Roasted Carrots with Turmeric-Honey or in meat dishes like Ikarian Braised Pork with Honey, Orange and Rosemary.

As a third- and fourth-generation family company, Moon Shine Trading Co. knows honey. And because they process their honey with zero waste, they know how to do it right. With beekeeping roots that began in Israel, the family eventually ended up in Woodland, California—along the way, each generation learned the ins and outs of the craft.
