Amazon Grocery, Golden Pure Honey, 16 Oz (Previously Amazon Fresh, Packaging May Vary)

During the "supply chain shortages" this spring and summer. Thing I found hardest to find is honey. As I need to avoid Raw Honey ; the last thing a person allergic bee venom wants is bits of bee in their honey. After a horrible honey purchase experience. I found a small bottle of Happy Belly Brand Honey and purchased it via Amazon Fresh. Had never purchased any of the brand before so I wasn't sure what to expect because there is a bit of a debate between customers on product page because the only ingredient listed is Honey rather than Pure Honey. Does Fake or Imitation Honey Exist? Yes, it is a bio engineered food largely made in China and the U.S. FDA tries to keep it out of our countrybecause of pesticides used in China as they been outlawed here ages ago. Main base ingredients are best or cane or best sugar with molasses and a little real honey for flavor. Is Happy Belly Clover Honey Fake? NO it's REAL HONEY🐝 Here is how I know and you can use this to test your honey purchases 🐝 1 Does it Crystallize? Only real honey will . Happy Belly had a small amount of white crystals before I opened it, at the top. Looks like granulated salt. It's from the natural sugar and pollen content 🐝🐝 2 Does it give you a feeling (tickle) in the back of your throat? Real Honey will; it's the pollen present that does this how you respond to the pollen depends on how much feel you get. If you want more of a scientific test try one of these : Paper towel Test: Place a dollop of your Honey and see if it spreads out or does it drip on through?. I used one Small square of Bounty Brand. Happy Belly Clover Honey spread out and didn't soak through after 15 minutes. Bread Test: place a generous dollop of Honey on a slice of bread without spreading it around. I used Pepperidge farm's Potato Bread Real Honey will sink in some and turn your bread slightly crunchy. This is from the crystallization process. Fake Honey will soak on through to your plate because the fake stuff has a high water content. Real Honey doesn't. Happy Belly Clover Honey passed this test. So why the confusion? Happy Belly Clover Honey doesn't use buzz words like 100% or Pure on it's label everything thing they put on costs money. Money that we must pay for. So it's actually saving us customers money so I actually appreciate that their labeling is simplistic and allows for a more of a value. Also the True Source Certified on the back label is not something seen on many products in U.S. Grocery store chains. It's a Voluntary program that honey companies bee farms sign up for they have a website that explains there process and mission. Country of origin: Argentina, Canada and United States If you want to avoid purchasing a faked honey the easiest way is to be wary of any brand that lists India as it's country of India as they are the largest buyer of China's Imitation Honey according to several trusted sources online. Just search imitation honey how to spot. As I don't think I can mention them even if they are educational. Bottom line I am very impressed by this Clover Honey because of it's great taste, value, knowing it's real and will continue to purchase it. I also will try other Happy Belly brand products in the future. I would highly recommend this product to others. My opinions are strictly my own I didn't receive anything for this review. Paper Towel and Bread Test along with knowledge of crystallization was passed down from my great grandmother whose father and brother were beekeepers going back to the great depression era.

Great tasting honey, I will purchase again. Thanks

I’m very happy with this honey! It has a great flavor that tastes smooth, rich, and naturally sweet without being overpowering. I’ve used it in tea, on toast, with oatmeal, and even in recipes, and it works wonderfully for so many different things. The consistency is nice and easy to pour, and I appreciate having a good pantry staple that can be used in everyday meals and drinks. The size is convenient and gives a good amount for the price as well. Overall, this has been a great purchase. Delicious flavor, easy to use, and something I’ll definitely keep on hand!

I was very skeptical but it was only 5 dollars so I tried it. I put it through my honey tests and it passed. It tastes like honey and the label reports 100% honey. I add it to my Greek yogurt bowls and protein shakes. It works well.

It was good honey but I prefer the wildflower honey. This has a more subtle taste.

We buy this again and again. Always good. Always fresh. I really cannot say it is always spreadable due to the crystallization factor

This is pretty good honey, has a perfect little pouring spout for when you just want a bit of honey. The taste is very similar to the Honey Bear I usually buy, but I needed more in order to make my Honey-Balsamic glaze so I bought this larger size and it was a good substitute for the Honey Bear. There was no apparent difference in the taste of my glaze. The glaze is easy - equal parts good Balsamic vinegar (my fave is dark Colavita) & your favorite honey; simmer about 5 minutes while stirring to thicken for desired consistency. Great on broiled salmon, drizzled on crab cakes & on thin sliced chicken breasts pan sautéed in butter and drizzled @ end of cooking. Use extra glaze in a tiny cup for dipping.

Great tasting honey. The price was fair. I use it a lot in baking . My substitute for white processed sugar.
