I've always found Lime honey to taste exactly that - Limey - it always
tastes to me like the citrus lime lemonade (soda) we had as kids.
Why the Lime(European name) or Basswood(USA name) tree (Tiliaceae)
should yield honey tasting slightly of the citrus lime fruit (Rutaceae)
I've never had explained to me- perhaps just one of Mother Nature's
great coincidences. Maybe one of the botanists on the list can shed some
light.
Lime honey is here considered one of the finest honeys, almost in the
same connoisseur category as Heather.
