The combination was great mainly because the honey was so good and the lavender in the Purple Haze was lovely. Are there other cheese honey combos with should try?

And, Total Greek Yogurt has a combo package of their yogurt with honey on the side (like those Cottage Doubles if cottage cheese with a fruit spread side) Bobby Flay did fresh Buffalo Milk Ricotta with Orange Marmalade, Honey and Toasted Pine Nuts. The Surreal Gourmet did Honey-Drizzled Walnut and Gargonzola Bites. Do they make a honey that tastes of apricot? I'd like that, I'm sure. http://www.cnn.com/FOOD/resources/food.for.thought/sweets/honey.html http://www.wholehealthmd.com/refshelf/foods_view/1,1523,283,00.html Oooh, they have MANGO HONEY http://www.potentherbs.com/shop/honey.html Maybe that would be good with a nutty Emmental? http://www.amul.com/cheese-emmental.html "It still is too early to say definitively, but honey seems to have the potential to serve as a dietary antioxidant, . . .
