Honey Types Offered
Tupelo
The "Gold Standard" of honey, harvested exclusively from the White Tupelo trees in the Apalachicola and Ogeechee river basins of Florida and Georgia. Produced during a brief two-week window in spring, this light golden honey is famous for its high fructose ratio, which prevents it from granulating. It has a smooth, buttery texture and a complex floral flavor with hints of pear.
Gallberry
Produced in the pine flatwoods of South Georgia and North Florida from a small evergreen holly bush. Harvested in late spring, this honey is prized for its high enzyme content, which prevents crystallization. It has a thick viscosity and a rich, complex flavor that is often preferred by bakers for its ability to retain moisture in cakes and breads.
Wildflower
The ultimate seasonal snapshot of a region. "Wildflower" is a poly-floral variety, meaning the bees visited typically dozens of different blooming species to create it. Because the nectar sources vary by location and time of year (Spring vs. Autumn), the color can range from golden to dark amber, and the flavor is robust, complex, and full-bodied.
Basswood
Sourced from the North American Basswood tree (Tilia americana), found from the Midwest to the Northeast. Produced during a short, intense flow in early summer, this water-white honey is famous for its biting, distinctive flavor that lingers on the palate. It is highly active enzymatically and is prized by connoisseurs for its complex, woody, and slightly minty notes.
Linden
Produced from the Linden tree (Tilia) in Europe and parts of North America (where it is often called Basswood). This honey is harvested in mid-summer and is light yellow to greenish in color. It is famous for its fresh, woody, and minty aroma. In Europe, it is a traditional remedy for insomnia and nervous tension when taken with warm milk.
Black Locust
Produced in the Appalachian region and parts of Europe from the short-blooming Black Locust tree. It is one of the clearest honeys available, often appearing water-white. Due to its very high fructose-to-glucose ratio, it resists crystallization for years, remaining liquid longer than almost any other variety. Its flavor is incredibly mild and sweet, often described as having vanilla or candy-like notes.
