Each jar in our artisanal infused honey collection begins with a single raw Black Barn varietal as its foundation. One whole ingredient follows — culinary lavender, dried ginger root, wild blackberry — allowed to meld over weeks without heat or extraction. The result is something neither element could be alone.
These are not flavored honeys. No oils, no extracts, no artificial additions of any kind: only honey and its complement, each chosen for how it transforms the other. The lavender is floral without being perfumed. The ginger builds slowly and finishes clean, without the sharp edge that extract brings. The wild blackberry holds its tartness long after the sweetness settles.
A finishing drizzle over a cheese board. Folded into a vinaigrette for something unexpected. Paired alongside a cured meat plate, or spread on warm bread at the end of the day. For those new to infused honey, the lavender is the most approachable starting point. For those who cook seriously, the ginger rarely stays in the cupboard.
What is artisanal infused honey?
Artisanal infused honey starts with raw varietal honey as its base and adds a single whole ingredient — culinary lavender, dried ginger root, wild blackberry — allowed to steep over time without heat or extraction. The result is a honey that carries the character of its addition without artificial flavoring. No oils, no extracts, no shortcuts.
How do you use lavender honey?
Lavender honey works best as a finishing element rather than a cooking ingredient. Drizzle over soft cheeses like brie or fresh ricotta, stir into chamomile or Earl Grey tea, use as a glaze on grilled stone fruit, or spread on warm bread with good butter. Its floral quality is subtle — it complements rather than dominates, which makes it one of the most versatile infused honeys in the collection.
How do you use ginger honey?
Ginger honey builds heat slowly without the sharpness of fresh ginger root. It works in both sweet and savory contexts: stirred into hot water with lemon as a remedy drink, used as a glaze on salmon or roasted carrots, drizzled over vanilla ice cream or yogurt, or added to a cocktail in place of simple syrup. The heat fades cleanly without lingering bitterness.
Are infused honeys still raw?
Yes. Black Barn infused honeys begin as raw varietal honey and the infusion process does not involve heat. The whole ingredient is added directly to the raw honey and allowed to steep at ambient temperature. The naturally occurring enzymes, pollen, and antioxidants present in raw honey remain intact throughout.
