I’ve never been a big fan of honey - but wow!! These raw, natural honeys changed my mind! As I’m learning more about the health benefits, I wanted to incorporate more honey into my recipes. So I searched Amazon for the best I could find…and couldn’t decide between two. So I ordered both and decided to taste-test for the masses. Tried Nate’s first and it was better than any honey I’ve ever tried!! Then tasted Ziegler’s heavenly honey and it is absolutely divine!!! Both are fantastic and sweet, but Ziegler’s is somehow more sweet and subtle. Same with smell - Both smell amazing, but zeigler’s is again more subtle while Nate’s is stronger with a slight bitter smell. As you can see in the photos, Zeigler’s is a tiny bit lighter in color. Both are the same thickness. And I’m thrilled to see that both have a tiny bit of crystals forming at the top (proof of pure, raw honey!!). I definitely prefer the taste of Zeigler’s, but both are great! So I’ll use Nate’s for baking and Zeigler’s for biscuits 😋.
As far as the lids, I prefer Nate’s. It has a clear silicone insert that keeps a better seal and also keeps it from getting around the lid. Like the newer ketchup bottles vs old school with dried ketchup all around the top. Despite my lid favoritism, Z is still the one I’m keeping on subscribe & save. But I can’t imagine anyone would be displeased with either!
One other thing to note, I’ve heard that it’s best to use local honey to fix allergies and that may have something to do with my taste preference…I’m a Georgia peach. So if local bees are healthier for me, their honey might also taste better to me since it’s my natural environment too. Just a thought.
