From Holy Cross Abbey
ALMOND CREAMED HONEY


Made by Trappist monks in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia using locally sourced honey. The monks take liquid honey and naturally crystallize it so that it thickens slightly and has the texture of butter, making it soft and spreadable. Adds sweetness and flavor to hot tea and cereal; wonderful when spread on bread, toast, pancakes, bagels or waffles. Creamed honey can be stored at room temperature and has an indefinite shelf-life. Contains only honey and almond extract.

10-oz. cup



Holy Cross Abbey: Berryville, Virginia

The Abbey of Our Lady of the Holy Cross is a monastery of the Cistercian Order of the Strict Observance (Trappists) which was born out of fire. When the monastery of Our Lady of the Valley in Valley Falls, Rhode Island, tragically and spectacularly burned to the ground on the night of March 21, 1950, the monks of the abbey were left without a home. While they labored to re-establish their community at a new site at Spencer, Massachusetts (St Joseph's Abbey), plans were also developed for a new foundation. A site was found in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia on land originally surveyed by George Washington. A fieldstone house built in 1784 as a hunting lodge became the centerpiece of the new monastery.

Products of Holy Cross Abbey include creamed honeys, chocolate truffles and chocolate-covered pieces of fruitcake called "Fraters". The Monastery Bakery, where the monks make their fruitcakes, is the Abbey's chief means of support. Hospitality in the form of retreats and spiritual direction is offered at the Abbey Guest House.
Ingredients: Honey, almond extract

I love all of the monastery creamed honeys, and this is one of my favorites. I think that almond goes well with the honey taste, as does brandy. But first the honey has to be great, and this honey is great.

We had received this honey butter as a gift from our prior Catholic pastor. It was so delicious that this year we ordered 7 (6 almond & 1 orange) for Christmas gifts. Bless the Monks!

The almond honey is a glorious touch to any item; I stretched out using my order up as long as possible. It will be a great gift for friends when I make future orders.
