yummy honey
Oct 17 
one of the first things that caught my eye when i first spotted a jar of volcano island honey was the label. the artwork was donated by dietrich varez, the noted big island linoblock artist (and one of my favorites), who must be a fan of the lovely organic white honey. in addition to the original honey, you can also savor honey with a ginger, lilikoi or lehua twist.
the artisanal honey company has been sharing their nectar for 25 years and it has been said to be "some of the best honey in the entire world". the secret may be that the honey is harvested from a kiawe forest on the big island where some sort of alchemy occurs when the unique topography and nature meet up with the honeybees.
volcano island honey can be found at specialty shops around the islands. if you're ordering online remember that there is minimum order of $40 to avoid a shipping surcharge or just stop by your nearest whole foods which also stocks the honey.

I just came across your blog and am loving it! Also, volcano island honey is pretty good--I also bought the jar because of the label. I'm a sucker for Dietrich Varez work! (i have his "Hale Kilolani" print which totally takes me back home to Haleakala)...
yay! it's so nice to find another dietrich fan. i first saw his work on maui and over the years we have collected many of his prints. it's hard to choose a favorite but i do love his "discovery" block print.
thanks for stopping by!
