Raw Sourwood Honey

The unique mono-floral raw sourwood honey has distinctive flavors, including anise, spice, coves and maple and caramel taste. A smooth and syrupy texture, Sourwood Honey is a beautiful amber color. This lends to a buttery sensation and aroma of cinnamon and cloves. For these reasons, the aftertaste has a slight gingerbread twang.
Sourwood honey pairs very well with cheeses, fresh fruit, granola, oatmeal, pastries and breads.

Raw tupelo is the other favorite American honey. It is lighter in color, buttery in flavor with a mild and magical taste. With tones of cinnamon and hints of anise, this delicious honey comes from the blossoms of the tupelo gum tree. These blossoms are fragile, and favorable weather is necessary to produce a strong, plentiful crop. Our tupelo honey supply comes from both the Wewahitchka area in the Florida panhandle. We also commonly source Tupelo from the Savannah river banks in Georgia.
