Tallow

About this Honey

Harvested from the Chinese Tallow (Popcorn Tree), which is invasive in the Gulf Coast states. Despite the tree's reputation, it produces a massive flow of high-quality honey. It is dark amber but surprisingly mild and tangy, often described as having a "twang." It is a staple honey for beekeepers in Texas and Louisiana.
