The versatile honey condiment is often paired with other sweet spreads like nut butter or jam but at the Wintery Fancy Food Show this year, consumers were introduced to a new way of enjoying honey with Glory Bee's Brown Butter Honey Ghee.
As its name suggests, the Brown Butter Honey Ghee introduces the unlikely pairing of 60% grass-fed Pacific Northwest brown butter ghee and 40% Pacific Northwest clover blossom honey. The finished product, as Glory Bee describes, is slightly sweet, salty and caramel-like, with a smooth and creamy texture. When it comes to using the inventive product, Glory Bee recommends adding it to everything from toast and bagels to waffles, pancakes, roasted vegetables, meat and nuts—it can even be used as a decadent topping for popcorn.
Since honey is a key component of the product, Glory Bee puts a percent of sales towards supporting SAVE the BEE.
