Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey
This jar is not all Canadian. Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey is a dark spread from buckwheat blossom, in a 1 kg (2.2 lb) jar. The taste is dark and strong.
Its ingredient line names a blend of Canadian and European buckwheat honey. A pink band on the glass still prints a Canada grade for dark honey. Angela and Mark Ysseldyk pack it at their Ontario facilities anyway.
Use it on a slow breakfast, in baking, or in tea. Their page says it soothes a cough. Keep the lid on at room temperature.

Strong Canadian ties
Company’s own label claim: “Blend of Canadian and European buckwheat honey”
Mixed honey, packed in Ontario. Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey uses Canadian and European buckwheat honey, so this jar is not fully Canadian. The Ysseldyks still run the Carlisle company.

“We now offer dozens of honey and bee products globally from our two facilities in Ontario Canada and employ dozens from the local community.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey made in Canada?
Partly. Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey is packed in Ontario, and the ingredient line is a blend of Canadian and European buckwheat honey.
Does the jar say Product of Canada?
Yes, on the band. Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey glass reads pure non-pasteurized Product of Canada No. 1 Dark, even though the ingredient line names European honey.
Is Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey the same as the raw honey?
No. Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey is the dark buckwheat jar. The raw honey jar is a golden Canada No. 1 and its ingredient line is 100% Canadian honey.
Why does the brand FAQ say Canadian bees only?
The FAQ does. Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey is the exception on the product page, which prints a Canadian and European blend instead of that bee line.
How should I store Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey?
On the counter. Dutchman's Gold says 10 to 15 degrees Celsius slows the set. A warm-water bath, not the element, brings crystals back to liquid.
Who owns Dutchman's Gold Buckwheat Honey?
Angela and Mark Ysseldyk. They took Dutchman's Gold over from her father, John Van Alten, who started the Carlisle company in 1981 with 300 hives.
