A beautifully illustrated global survey of the flavor of honey, The World Atlas of Honey includes: - Profiles of more than 80 countries and their botanical sources of honey

- Text, illustrations and photos celebrating the exceptional range and diversity of honey

- The methods used by honey sommeliers to taste and evaluate honey

This colorful guide celebrates the exceptional range and diversity of honey, revealing how terroir—the environment in which a food is produced—influences honey's qualities just as it does for wine, olive oil, coffee, and chocolate.
