Star Thistle Crème Honey is a genuine single-origin varietal — harvested from star thistle blooms, slow-crystallized into a spreadable crème, and bottled without additional infusion. The flavor that comes purely from the source flower is more complex than most people expect from an uninfused honey.

The opening note is a sweet, warm cinnamon spice — not added, just present as an inherent character of star thistle nectar. The middle develops an almond-forward aroma that's distinctive and specific to this variety. The finish is rich, persistent, and sweet — longer and more robust than Prairie Flower, which makes Star Thistle the bolder of Black Barn's two crème varietal honeys.

It's exceptional on a board next to aged manchego or a hard sheep's milk cheese, where the cinnamon-almond character bridges the gap between the honey and the cheese's nuttiness. It works beautifully on warm biscuits or scones with cultured butter. It holds its own in baking — as a sugar substitute in shortbread or a honey cake, where its distinctly flavored character reads through the other ingredients. Pure, single-origin raw, small-batch.
