A Global History.
This is a beautifully illustrated global guide of the flavour of honey. The World Atlas of Honey includes profiles of more than eighty countries and the botanical sources of honey found in each. It will be a welcome gift for any lover of honey or anyone with a few hives of their own.
The World Atlas of Honey offers a wealth of gorgeous photography, making this volume something of a travelogue too. It takes readers through the global history of honey production from the earliest beekeepers to today’s commercial harvests. It gives many inspiring examples of how this natural and sweet substance is enjoyed throughout the world.
This colourful overview celebrates the exceptional range and diversity of honey, revealing how terroir―the environment in which a food is produced―influences honey’s qualities just as it does for wine, olive oil, coffee, and chocolate. Unique and authoritative, The World Atlas of Honey puts honey on the culinary map and elevates it to an epicurean treasure. Author C. Marina Marchese is an artist, beekeeper and a honey sommelier. The book covers the methods used by honey sommeliers to taste and evaluate honey with tasting notes.
