September marks the launch of a sweet addition to the Brightland family: two varieties of raw, unfiltered honey. Our Chef in Residence, Noreen Wasti, developed an elegant dessert recipe to show how to use our decadent Wildflower Honey.

"This is one of those simple desserts that’s so delicious and can be easily put together at the last minute. Jewel toned figs are roasted in the oven with Brightland’s Wildflower Honey, which is so floral with the most beautiful amber hue. Served with vanilla crème fraîche, a drizzle of Lucid Lemon Olive Oil, and flaky salt — it’s truly stunning and impressive." - Noreen Wasti
