Clover honey
Clover honey is honey made by bees foraging on clover blossoms, mostly white and sweet clover grown across North America. It is the default honey on most grocery shelves, the one people picture when they hear the word honey at all.
The flavor is mild and clean, gently floral, with none of the sharp or bitter notes you get from darker honeys like buckwheat. The color runs from nearly water-white to light amber depending on the season and the exact clover.
That mildness is the point. Clover honey sweetens without stamping its own character on a dish, which is why it became the standard table and baking honey.
