Local Honey

Honey is one of the best examples when talking about regional cuisine, reason being, your honey is special due to the nectar source in the area.

For example All Hawaiian Honey did a demonstration about different types of honey and their nectar sources. For example

Waimanalo - Nectar source : Banana and Macadamia
Kahalu'u - Lychee and Citrus
Kam Hwy A-5 - Basil and Avacado
Christmasberry - nectar from the plant that has those red berries found at Christmas time.
Lehua - From the lehua flower
Macadamia - From the macadamia flower.

Check out the picks and if you are in Hawaii, go to a farmers market and ask for Linda from All Hawaiian Honey. I would recommend the KCC one on sundays, from 7 am -10am.
