Beekeeping has been a Gibbs family tradition for four generations - more than eight decades of shared wisdom, connection and a deep respect for the natural environment that has been passed down from generation to generation.
With fields that have been in use for over 100 years, situated amongst wildflower meadows, mixed forests, organic farms and natural pastures of clover and alfalfa, these diverse environments yield a beautiful depth of flavour.
Maker: Gibbs Honey
Origin: Vankleek Hill, Ontario
Description: Raw honey in beeswax comb, hand cut into 300g pieces.
Comb Honey is in its rawest, most natural state, with the most enzymes, vitamins, antioxidants and minerals of any form of honey. It’s honey exactly as the bees made it, stored in the comb, capped with fresh beeswax.
Gibbs Comb Honey comes straight from the hive and is hand-cut directly from the frame. Each piece is different, though the dominant nectar sources from this batch include Linden, Clover, Fruit Blossom (lighter in colour), Dandelion, Sunflower, Goldenrod and Aster (darker in colour), in variable amounts.
How to use Comb Honey:
- Straight off the spoon!
- Paired with cheese or on charcuterie board
- Stirred into yogurt or ice cream
- On top of warm pancakes, waffles or oatmeal
- Crumbled into a salad
- Spread on warm bread
Can I eat the wax?
- Yes. It’s 100% edible, though we like chewing the wax like gum and spitting it out.
How to store Comb Honey:
- Comb Honey is best stored at room temperature.
- To slow the natural crystallization process, freeze the comb then warm at room temperature a few hours before use.
Does Comb Honey expire?
- Nope. Honey is the only food that never goes bad, but it will crystalize over time. This is a completely natural process and varies in speed depending on the nectar source of the honey.
