About this Honey

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.
