Honeycomb & Cheese

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? A Symphony of Flavors: Honeycomb & Cheese! Raw honeycomb is such an elegant centerpiece for charcuterie boards and grazing stations at your next home entertainment gathering. It’s also a unique conversation-starter. Did you know it can take bees anywhere from one week to several months to build a full honeycomb? It all depends on the availability of natural nectar, the bee population, and how far the bees will fly to collect food. Now you, too, can get “busy as a bee” planning your next get together. 

HONEYCOMB & CHEESE

Ingredients:

8-ounce wedge of parmesan cheese

5.6-ounce block of raw acacia honeycomb 

Sprig of fresh thyme

Instructions:

Arrange a wedge of parmesan cheese on a marble serving plate. Break off a few bite-size pieces in chunks. Place a hunk of raw acacia honeycomb nearby with the hexagonal cells visible for appealing presentation. Garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme. The beeswax and natural honey are lightly sweet with subtle hints of vanilla. The honeycomb wax is completely edible, for those who wonder. Serve with warm bread, fresh fruit, assorted nuts, and cured meats.
