This honey is perfect on vanilla ice cream and strawberries. We also love using it as a sweetener for Chai and Hot Chocolate because of its aroma and marshmallow-like taste. For cheese? We love it for intense, savory cheeses like blues and pecorino.
 
The Plant
Our Aroeira honey comes from the Cerrado, a biome that accounts for a full 21 percent of Brazil's land area. The Cerrado's climate is typical of the rather moister savanna regions of the world, with a semi-humid tropical climate. The Cerrado is limited to two dominant seasons throughout the year, wet and dry. Since then, vast amounts of research have proved that the Cerrado is one of the richest of all tropical savanna regions and has high levels of endemism. Characterized by enormous ranges of plant and animal biodiversity, the World Wide Fund for Nature named it the biologically richest savanna in the world, with about 10,000 plant species and 10 endemic bird species.
