Tastes great - even better on skin.

Try using this in a facial masque rather than just consuming. It makes your skin feel amazing and honey is naturally antimicrobial so it might even help with acne and other pesky skin conditions!More detail ...

Most affordable monofloral raw honey I've found anywhere; has health benefits

I truly searched for affordable monofloral raw honey. White Gold is the least expensive one I've found taking into consideration Amazon's free shipping for this product - barely over .51 ¢ per ounce. I've already placed several orders for it not only for myself but as gifts because it's a real treat. It's over 40% more expensive at my local Whole F**ds.



White Gold owned by Continental Systems is real raw honey. I've talked with the company representative on more than one occasion. First they don't heat this honey whatsoever - it is cold packed. It's raw.



Wikipedia defines RAW HONEY as honey that is exists without adding heat above 120 °F. Wikipedia goes on to state: "Local raw honey is sought after by allergy sufferers as the pollen impurities are thought to lessen the sensitivity to hay fever." White Gold is not heated at all.



Monofloral honey is somewhat hard to find and always has a distinctive flavor since it comes from one plant species' nectar. Monofloral clover honey is pale white but a lot of polyfloral honeys are labeled as clover honey for the retail trade. There are many different types of monofloral honeys so you can experiment and find out which is your favorite. Keep in mind that heat processing darkens (browns) honey.



Further White Gold is hand-packed and not whipped (aka creamed). That's significant because honey manufacturers often whip honey to make it more spreadable but White Gold is already highly spreadable without this extra processing.



White Gold is a logical beginning when you are trying to discover your favorite raw monofloral honey. It has a unique fragrance that will probably be totally unfamiliar to you. You'll probably like it very much right from the start and recognize the clover taste.



In my opinion the comparison of this raw pure clover honey to pasteurized standard table honey labeled clover is akin to comparing Grade A maple syrup to Grade B maple syrup. And then in addition one must consider that raw honey has health benefits that pasteurized honey completely lacks.

A Great Breakfast Honey

This Ambrosia honey has a mild spicy sweet taste that reminds me of cinnamon sugar. I've tried it with hot biscuits and butter and think it would be great in oatmeal or with french toast. A perfect compliment to the breakfast table and the price is incredible (cheaper than the local honey's available) along with being an American made product.More detail ...

Manuka magick!

This is an excellent quality Manuka Honey product. There is a bit of confusion over the UMF MGO and OMA rating thing. UMF is the original and trademarked. MGO is a newer rating system that does not directly correlate to UMF but is accurate nonetheless. OMA is Wedderspoon's own rating system for determining activity within the raw honey. From my reading it appears to be pretty equitable to UMF. This honey is also USDA Organic certified (although that doesn't mean as much these days) to ensure that there are no additive ingredients to the product.



As for usage I have two jars of this honey. I used the first on my wife's wounds following MOHS surgery for removal of skin cancer. The results were amazing and the surgeon and plastic surgeon both asked what we were using to allow the wounds to heal up so quickly with minimal scarring. There was also a staph infection as a result of the surgery that the honey took care of as well. It takes a bit of diligence to ensure daily dressing changes with fresh honey but the results pay off. I ended up pre-soaking gauze with the honey and sandwiching between two layers of plastic wrap to create more manageable "bandages". These were used by my wife when she traveled in addition to direct application to the cleaned wound bed.

Basic process: Clean wound with Hydrogen Peroxide follow with colloidal silver in nebulizer then drizzle honey into wound and cover wound with pre-soaked gauze pad. The last bit is to cover the pre-soaked pad with a waterproof dressing like a Telfa-style pad to reduce oozing onto clothing/bedding. Care must be taken in finding adhesives that do not irritate the skin too much with the frequent dressing changes. There are also larger waterproof wound dressings with silver-impregnated that might be a good combination. Main idea is to minimize air-space and keep honey in constant contact with wound bed.



If this all sounds new do some research on honey for wound care at the University of Waikato in New Zealand courtesy of Dr. Peter Molan.



Note this honey is not "sterilized" via gamma radiation (which is not supposed to reduce activity in the honey like pasteurization) but is still highly effective. Honey is resistant to most any spoilage due to its activity and the sterilization process is just an extra step some honey manufacturer's take (Comvita or Summerglow) to be able to sell their products as medical devices in the US. It will allow the honey to be FDA-approved. Again as I understand this is not a requirement but is done largely to gain approval for medical usage in hospitals and clinics. Check out Medihoney dressings. BTW I have also used this topically on oral canker sores with great effect! Sores dissappeared in days and not weeks! Applied directly 3 x day.



Lastly the other jar I use for tea and even coffee and it is delicious. It has a strong floral taste and finish (as would be expected) and is alittle more viscous than other Manuka honeys I have tried.



I have tried nearly all Manuka honey brands from NZ as I visit often and find this to be a great option for those of us who need a high-quality active raw Manuka honey without paying a load for shipping up the stuff from down under. Or you can just ask a friend heading that way to bring you back some :PMore detail ...
