Texture, Color, Aroma, and Taste: 

Pure acacia honey is sometimes listed as "water white" or "extra white" due to its extremely clear texture and nearly transparent colour. You will find it named 'water honey' or 'moonflower honey' due to its distinctively pale colour.

Being one of the lightest coloured honey, raw honey offers naturally mellow, gentle sweetness, which is complemented with floral undertones and vanilla flavour. This combination of floral and grassy notes makes it taste fresher. Surprisingly, it has no aftertaste.

This organic raw honey is runny and very light in texture. It stays liquid without sugaring (due to high fructose content).
