Listen to it now here!
Here are some of the most important mentions that we had:
– “And then the next thing that I found that I thought was a really cool find was called Ceimayá Raw honey and honeycomb was 100% organic and kosher, and it’s actually a mexican raw honey product.”
– “How do you spell Ceimayá?”
– “C-E-I-M-A-Y-A… Ceimayá”
– “So okay, I didn’t think it was spelled like that”
– “And that’s their website as well ceimaya.com where you can see all the products there and get it direct to consumer, or you can also see their products on Amazon but what’s really cool about their honeys is that they have monofloral, like single varietal type of honeys where there is just a single plant focused. For example, they have one called volcano honey, and it is from wild sunflower blossoms that are grown on the volcanoes.”
– “And the interesting thing about that honey is so when you look at their portfolio of honeys, their colors were just so beautiful that there were so many different ambers, there was a really dark amber, this one was much more darker, the volcano honey, vs another one that I tried which that was their desert honey and that one was almost like a creamy white looking honey, and that one was from a mesquite blossom, so the cool thing about that one was as we know mesquite is usually barbecued, it did have all of that sort of smokey flavor, wood and caramel, is what you got from that. So the honeys were very different and the flavors, you know depending on where you got it from deserts, sand, soil, or volcanic soil. So I thought it was really neat that it had these honeys from different areas that are using this single type of plant.”
– “There is also called a honeycomb, so is the honeycomb a part of the jar that you buy?”
– “Well so, they have, you could buy the honey by itself, and you can also buy the honeycomb, this one is really cool and definitely worth looking at, they have this one on Amazon as well or the website that I told you. They actually have, imagine a jar upside down, and so the lid is the base, and you have the little dome over it I guess, it is what you would say, they have a special little box that the beekeeper makes, and the bees put their honey and wax and everything and in this little thing and in this little box, and then they put that when it’s done into the lid, and then they put the jar over it, so actually it is an upside down jar, it’s beautifully presented.”
-“It is hard for me to imagine, so you’re buying the jar that’s upside down?”
– “The jar is upside down.”
– “With the honeycomb in the cap?”
– “With the honeycomb in the cap and it’s actually beautiful, looks like a dome covering this honeycomb, so it’s very eye-catching presentation. When I was walking by I had to stop simply because I saw the jar, and then I tasted through the honeys. And that jar is what stopped me, I was like this is beautiful, this would be a great gift to give just to somebody.”
– “¡A great gift! For somebody for Thanksgiving or even for Christmastime, I would like to give a gift to myself.”
– “Well this one is a great gift to yourself and what’s in it is basically is the wax, the honey, the pollen and the residual royal jelly, so you have all of that in there, so it’s really cool, and it was delicious, the texture was really okay.”
