The Story
Harvested along the complex riverine ecosystems of the Southeastern Coastal Plain, this blend leverages the simultaneous late-spring blooming periods of Nyssa ogeche and Ilex glabra. Honey bees navigate the deep, water-logged swamp canopies to forage on the highly sensitive Tupelo blossoms, while simultaneously utilizing the low-lying flatwood evergreen understory of Gallberry, creating a naturally integrated regional polyfloral canvas. The structural hallmark of this blend is its exceptionally high fructose-to-glucose ratio, inherited directly from the Tupelo nectar, which keeps the fluid completely free of crystal formation for years. This permanent liquid state, combined with a low moisture content, makes it a premium table asset that pours uniformly and acts as an excellent non-hygroscopic glaze for delicate pastries and hot cakes.
