Amaretto Honey from Eataly

Amaretto Honey (center) and Apricot Mostarda (right). The
honey steals the condiment show at Eataly in Chicago.
This is a picture of a jar of amaretto honey in Eataly Chicago. They served it with an Italian meat, cheese and bread platter and my friend Tamela and I fell in love with it. She bought some that day and I didn't. I really regretted the decision so I went back the next day and bought some along with a Wineskin to seal it up and take it home in my suitcase (which worked really well, by the way!) When I went back to Eataly, the area where they sell the honey was empty! No more honey? I struck up a conversation with a lady who worked there and she not only found me some honey (I bought two!), she told me that it is made by combining 8 parts honey to 1 part amaretto liqueur. Warm it in the top of a double-boiler and then stir in toasted , slivered almonds. So easy! So unique and delicious! If you are in a town with an Eataly, I highly recommend you go as often as possible (we visited three times in as many days in Chicago in April 2016!), you won't regret it!

  2. We just had some of this honey in NYC. Amazing! But we also couldn’t find it on the shelf and neither could the clerk. I just checked online and they don’t have it on their website. Any ideas on how to get some through mail order?

    1. I'm sorry, I don't! The packaging was not shipping ready when we bought it but we overcame it. If you're still there, go to customer service. The people there are fantastic and they've found several obscure items, once at the Downtown NYC location on the very shelf I started at for 10 minutes without seeing it!
