Buckwheat honey was called Guinness honey because of its color; less sweet than wildflower honey, it has an earthy, malty aroma and flavor that is sometimes compared to toasted caramel. Dober Tek magazine writer Aleks describes buckwheat honey as intense and tells readers they'll love it because it's "really great" and "funky" when paired with goat cheese. It's delicious in your favorite brownie or muffin recipe and drizzled over pancakes, waffles or ice cream, and it's amazing added to yogurt or whiskey cocktails.

The quality of Slovenian honey
The next big advantage of the Slovenian beekeeper's honey is that it has not traveled long distances . The product of these very long distances, often incorrect storage and mixing of honey from different parts of the world pose a significant risk that the quality of the final product will decrease.
Crystallization
All natural honey solidifies after a certain storage time. This is called crystallization of honey and allows the honey to be preserved for a longer period in a natural way.
How do bees produce buckwheat honey?
The moment the bee collects the buckwheat nectar, it is mixed with an enzyme in the bee's mouth. The enzyme itself is known as invertase or "bee enzyme" which is secreted from bee glands. When the honey bees return to the hive, they mix the collected buckwheat nectar with "bee enzyme".
This will reduce the water content and convert the nectar into honey. Buckwheat will then deposit honey in the wax cells, but at this point the water content may be too high. To reduce the water content, the bees will flap their wings over the wax cell and this will evaporate some of the water.
When they finish the process, the water content of the honey will be about below 20%. Then the cell is closed and the bees will repeat the process again.
