A Conversation with Rasa Nabazaite, the First Honey Sommelier in the Baltics

Honey is one of humanity’s oldest foods, yet in modern kitchens it is often reduced to a spoonful stirred into tea or a nostalgic remedy for colds. Rasa Nabazaite, the first certified honey sommelier in Lithuania and the Baltics, is working to change that perception. Trained in honey sensory analysis and gastronomy, she approaches honey not only as an ingredient, but as a lens through which to understand ecology, culture, and flavor.
