Sourwood and Tupelo Honey Harvests:

2020 has been a rare and good year for both!

2021 has been a poor year for both!

 

Raw Sourwood Honey

 

Authentic raw sourwood honey is a delicate, smooth and delicious honey. It’s also one of two favorite American honeys.

 

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.

 

A Favorite Judges Honey

 

This sourwood honey won four world honey championships and was a Good Food award winner five times. Once you try it, you’ll taste the difference.

 

Origins

 

Native to the USA, this rare sourwood honey originates from the Lily of the Valley (Sourwood) trees. These trees are located in the North Georgia Appalachian mountains. Extracted from pristine hives, Sourwood Honey is famous for it’s rich and compelling flavor and aroma. Sourced from private Appalachian apiaries in North Georgia, we use this same honey in our sofi Gold award winning Sourwood Balsamic Honey Vinegar. The Specialty Food Association’s sofi award stands for specialty outstanding food innovation.

Raw Tupelo Honey

 

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.

 

Taste the bright, fruity-floral burst

 

Raw, unfiltered Tupelo honey has an amazing flavor profile. It has a bright, fruity-floral burst that dissolves on the tongue, with a warm buttery finish. Tupelo honey has a low glycemic index. This and the lower glucose content help it to resist crystallization. These same qualities make it easier to process and digest than most honeys.
