I'm curious about how honey is tasted and what makes one honey taste better than another? I have tasted honey that won a black jar/tasting category at a honey show but I have no idea why it was considered the best. It tasted slightly unusual but I actually preferred my own honey!
So I mean comparing similar honeys, say, light ones. I don't just mean really obvious things like the difference between, heather, lavender, clover, etc.
I imagine this is a complex topic but never see much about in any beekeeping books I read, but if you can recommend any sites or books that explain it, I'd be grateful. Thanks.
