Origins

This rare sourwood honey originates from the Lily of the Valley (Sourwood) trees located in the North Georgia Appalachian mountains. Extracted from pristine hives, Sourwood Honey is famous for it’s rich and compelling flavor and aroma.

Sourwood honey has a short blooming period, which is typically less than a month, from early July until early August. Sourwood blooms are rain sensitive. Because the Appalachians are elevated and mountainous, they are subject to more summer rain. For these reasons, the blossoms are often negatively impacted and large crops are more the exception than the norm.

Caveat Emptor

When there’s a limited supply, some honey packers have sadly cut corners and sell something that is a sourwood in name only. There are many legitimate sourwood sources too. For this reason, it always makes sense to check your sources and ask some questions on the sourwood honey’s source.
