About this Honey

A premier honey from the Appalachian Mountains (Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina). Harvested in mid-summer from the lily-of-the-valley-like flowers of the Sourwood tree. It is prized for its complex flavor profile of caramel, anise, and buttery spice. It has a cult following in the South and typically commands a higher price point than other regional varietals.
