My Colombian Honey Is Gone...

...well almost gone. Perhaps the yummiest honey I ever tasted. (Could the high-level of biodiversity that still exists in this part of the Andes be responsible?) My friend, who is stationed in Bogata brought me a holiday gift of a jar last winter. Though it has a positively addicting taste, I managed to ration it well enough to last me this long. But now I am down to the last two or three tablespoons. I would like to replace it with something similar. Does anyone know if there are shops (in Jackson Heights maybe) that would carry a high-quality honey? I don't have much information in terms of region, etc. because the label was a home-made computer printout on cheap paper and fell off recently. I know she bought it on a day trip from the capital, if that helps. The flavour is amazingly fragrent, with an almost jasmine tea-like finishing note. It really tastes like candy. And you thought the "other" Colombian export was addicting. Anyway, any information would be appreciated. Thanks.

  1. You know that honey is one food that lends itself well to small entrepreneurship; in other words, people with a few hives could have made it and it is only sold right there in There neighborhood. But I will pay attention when visiting the bodegas around Jackson Heights/Elmhurst and reply if I see any candidates.
