Belle~Isle Honey

Picture
From the French sea cliffs above the Atlantic this honey forms in pale gold hives tucked safely from the storms. A creamy soft oyster and Egyptian gold colour, it curls around my mother~of~pearl spoon like salty taffy waves slowly rolling to shore. Giselle, my great grand-mother's family owns and gathers this versatile confection ~
their motto has always been

'And honey and butter shall he eat, that he may know to
refuse the evil and choose the good' Isaiah 7:15


Provenance ~ floral cream and marine air, buttery smooth taste
making one feel like laughing and crying in the very same breath.
This current vintage is the best I've ever tasted.
A perfect fit with the following dishes and pairs very well with Italian fresh pecorino.
Peaches with honey and mint ~
4 juicy ripe peaches, 2 Tbsp. honey, 1 Tbsp. floral water, fresh mint leaves
Honey French Toast ~ Salmon with Honey & Ginger Glaze
Lamb & Fig Curry ~ Mango & Celery Salad

My mixture of our Belle-Isle honey, Irish Kerry gold butter and a tiny bit of Himalayan Pink Sea Salt creates a superior Honey Butter ~
2 generous Tablespoons Belle Isle Honey
4 Tablespoons Kerry Gold Butter, softened
fingertip of Himalayan Pink Sea Salt
place all ingredients in bowl and cream gently with spoon or mixer
wrap and refrigerate for up to 10 days

9 Scent Notes of a perfume to match this honey ~
Hyssop ~ sharp rich herbal note
Ocean Pine ~ pungent marine air with hot trees in the sunlight
Ambergris ~ washed ashore on temperate ocean coasts,
this ravishing perfume substance comes from vintage whale vomit
Genet ~ rosy honey flavour with delicate full bodied tones
Hyacinth ~ fresh spring floral
Vanilla ~ orchid sweet heat
Orange blossom ~ sultry powerful richness
Tree moss ~ waxy resin with hints of cool emerald tastes
Boronia ~ unique Australian shrub flower, dark green viscous essence with fresh fruity sweet tea like, slightly herbaceous tremendously rich floral with warm woody character,
high quality, rare & expensive
