Frequently Asked Questions About Honey Garlic

Our honey garlic is a Basaltic Farms specialty, handcrafted from certified organic garlic grown in the Cascade Mountain range and raw wildflower honey collected by our free-ranging bees. Naturally fermented to create a rich, sweet-savory flavor, it’s as versatile in the kitchen as it is valued for its wellness benefits. Whether you’re a home cook looking to elevate your recipes or someone exploring its immune-boosting properties, our honey garlic delivers exceptional taste and quality. Here are the most common questions we receive about making, storing, and enjoying this one-of-a-kind infusion.

About Our Honey Garlic

What makes Basaltic Farms honey garlic unique?

Our honey garlic begins with certified organic garlic grown in the rich soils of the Cascade Mountain range near Cedarville, CA, paired with raw wildflower honey sourced from bees that forage in one of the cleanest, pesticide-limited regions in the country. Every jar is handcrafted, fermented naturally, and infused with the flavors of our pristine mountain habitat.

Where does the honey in your honey garlic come from?

Our honeybees roam the wildflower meadows, organic farms, and native ground covers of the Cascade Mountain foothills. Thanks to the area’s 85% pesticide-free farming practices, our bees enjoy a safe, diverse diet that produces honey rich in flavor and nutrients.

What does Basaltic Farms honey garlic taste like?

It’s a harmonious balance — the floral sweetness of our raw wildflower honey meets the earthy warmth of freshly harvested garlic, mellowed through fermentation into a sweet-savory, umami-rich treat.

Quality, Safety & Fermentation

Is botulism a concern in your honey garlic?

No. Our process combines low-pH raw honey (average 3.6) with freshly harvested garlic (average pH 5.5–6.5), creating an environment that does not support botulinum growth. The natural fermentation further enhances safety while preserving beneficial enzymes and wild yeasts.

Why do you only use raw honey for fermentation?

Raw honey contains the live enzymes, wild yeasts, and beneficial bacteria necessary for fermentation. Heated or processed honey loses these vital components — which is why we use only unheated, minimally filtered raw honey.

How long will Basaltic Farms honey garlic last?

When stored at room temperature in a sealed jar, our honey garlic maintains peak flavor and quality for 6–9 months, and often improves in taste as it continues to gently ferment.

Culinary Inspiration

How can I use honey garlic in my cooking?

Our honey garlic is as versatile as it is delicious — drizzle the infused honey over roasted vegetables, coat baked chicken or tri-tip, mix into dressings, stir into marinades, or enjoy with artisan cheeses and crusty bread.

Can I use the garlic cloves as well as the honey?

Absolutely. The cloves become sweet, tender, and packed with flavor, perfect for charcuterie boards, dips, pasta sauces, or even eaten straight from the jar.

Does honey garlic work in drinks?

Yes — stir a spoonful of the honey into warm (not boiling) tea, or blend with lemon for a soothing, immune-boosting drink during the cold season.

Wellness Benefits & Traditions

What are the health benefits of honey garlic?

Garlic is rich in immune-boosting organosulfur compounds, while honey provides antioxidants and natural enzymes. Together, they support immune health, digestion, cardiovascular wellness, and may help speed recovery from seasonal colds.

Has honey garlic been used traditionally for medicine?

Yes — across cultures, honey and garlic have been used for centuries to aid digestion, fight infections, improve heart health, and soothe sore throats. Our process honors these traditions while meeting modern safety standards.

Can honey garlic be used for pets?

Some pet owners use honey garlic topically for minor wound care in animals, but we recommend consulting your veterinarian before giving garlic to pets, as it can be unsafe for certain species.

❄️ Hardneck Cold-Climate Advantage

Hardneck garlic varieties require cold winter temperatures for proper bulb development, and this vernalization process enhances their nutritional profile. These varieties, grown in our mineral-rich, volcanic soil at an elevation of 3,100 feet, develop intense flavor compounds and robust nutritional density through natural cold exposure. The bonus of edible scapes provides an additional source of nutrients in late spring, offering garlic flavor with tender texture. Unlike softneck varieties, hardnecks concentrate their energy into fewer, larger cloves with more complex flavor compounds, ensuring you get maximum nutritional and culinary value from each bulb.
