I should note upfront that we have tried this product on several occasions before posting this review. This comb honey is inexpensive, with free shipping, but the product is lacking in both taste and freshness. In fact, the last order we tasted was simply dry and a bit brittle, with no richness that is expected of comb honey. Our opinion is that the freshness date stamped on this product is approximately nine months to one year longer than it should be. For a fresher and better tasting comb honey at a higher price, I recommend the Fuel brand from New Zealand.
