Monarch's Choice 60 lb. Alfalfa Honey

WARNING! DO NOT BUY FOR BAKING! We tried this honey on several of our baked good recipes that we have been making for over 35 years, and every single dough that this honey touched it RUINED. We’re not just talking slightly less rise, it literally makes dough look likes it melting. Not sure what’s in the “formulation” of Monarch’s Baker’s Special Honey, but I would not recommend using it for anything baked. We bought 6 buckets of this and ended up wasting hundreds of dollars in dough and labor just giving it a shot. See photos for evidence of what this honey does to dough.

We looked high & low before finding a Certified Organic honey in bulk, to use for our certified organic products. At first, there was some confusion with our certifying agency, who couldn't prove that this item was certified organic (they don't list their certifying agency on the label, but Webstaurant store lists it in the description, and our organic certifier was able to make calls to verify that it is truly certified... and it is!). A fantastic find!

Excellent packaging. This thing could have been dropped from 30,000 feet and started intact. Obviously it's heavy. Easy to open with a closeable opening. Color is medium on a dark/light scale and taste exactly like honey. No frills here, just standard restaurant honey. I'm adding an image of it in a jar for color.

I love it I get exact what I need with fastest delivered

Great value, happy with my purchase. BUT very difficult to pour!!! I don't recommend using the pour spout - I tried that 1st and honey oozed out all over the lid - what a a mess. I found it better to just remove the lid and pour into smaller more manageable containers.

This afalfa honey is great quality, and is a huge size and will last you for some time. It has a great flavor, and i have not gotten any complaints about it. It works well for cooking and baking as well as added into drinks, i will be purchasing again for my coffee shop

This was purchased for my partners baking needs. When I had let them complete most of the container undecided to experiment. I converted the food grade container with a new lid into a fermenter and used what honey was left to make Mead. It will ferment and produces a dark rich complex mead.

DO NOT BUY this special honey!!! Upon reading the reviews on Baker's Special Honey I went ahead and ordered it. As soon as I opened the bucket it smelled like molasses,, not even a hint of honey at all. It has a very strong flavor and smell of molasses. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and tried it on a few of my recipes, It definitely change the flavor, consistency and of course the color of my recipes. I DO NOT recommend this as honey but rather as a molasses.

Love having the honey, in a large container, this makes it easy when I need it. It’s a little hard to pour it. It’s very heavy. I still like it better than the smaller containers.

Great all around

If you are used to eating raw honey or pure honey, you will not like this. It says it’s organic but it doesn’t taste right. There was a weird taste. I was disappointed.

Odd smelling, not a good honey smell or flavor. It may be okay as a sugar substitute but other than that, not impressed. I will give it a try in a small batch of mead.

I've been making mead for just over a year. I was purchasing local honey from someone related to a coworker. This honey far surpassed what he was supplying me. The taste is phenomenal and the price is unbelievably low. This a great tasting honey that works very well for mead. Will be buying more of this... I've already went through two 60lb tubs.

Loving this honey. Such a beautiful floral note and easy to pour and jar... We joke it's "treat" honey because it's so extra sweet and delicious. A+!

Started making mead about 39 years ago. I tried 4 batches with the wildflower honey, but it was just too dark for lighter meads. Change back to this beautiful golden clover instead.

Though this product is listed as "wildflower honey," and when opened it "looks" like wildflower honey, it DOES NOT have the flavor that it should have, and has artificial coloring that separates when the honey is added to liquid. My recomendation... BUY LOCAL!

Great honey. Will buy again

On this order arrived quickly one got damaged by shipper but replaced in two day get to do business with will be placing orders in future

Works great for honey mead. Loved it and love that I can use it for multiple 5 gallon batches of homemade mead.
