Description & Origin

In mid-summer, the North American Sourwood tree produces large, showy clusters of small, white flowers. But the trees grow in mountainous terrain and getting the beehives close can be tricky. Frequent summer rains also interrupt honey production. Due to high demand, prices for sourwood honey are a bit higher than other varieties. We looked around the web and found prices ranging from $15 to $30 per pound. So at $14 a pound in plastic bottles, we have one of the lowest prices you can find anywhere on the internet. This year, some of our sourwood supply came from Georgia and some came from North Carolina.

Color & Taste

The tree gets its name from sour tasting leaves, but the honey is entirely different. It is generally light amber in color. The flavor is rich and full, with notes of caramel, butterscotch and warm spices such as cloves and anise. It is just plain wonderful. In both 2005 and 2007, American sourwood honey was selected as "Best Honey in the World" at Apimondia, which is a bi-annual world conference for beekeepers and the honey industry.

Memory of our vacation at the Smoky Mountains National Park

We had just returned from a wonderful week of vacation from Gatlinburg, TN. There is a big honey specialty store in the middle of Main Street. We sampled many varieties of their honey and had to agree that Smiley's Honey is just as good but much more affordable. This delicious Sourwood Honey will remind me of all the beautiful mountain peaks, creeks, waterfalls, trees, and wildflowers in Smoky Mountains. Thank you for bringing so many quality honey from all over the world to our front door.

This Northern girl is addicted to Sourwood honey

I haven't had the chance to taste the honey yet, but it was beautifully packaged and well protected during shipping. I am looking forward to drizzling some on my go-to breakfast of toast with peanut butter. I love that I can get my favorite honey by mail as I can't travel South as often as I would like. Smiley Honey is very affordable for natural, raw honey and the shipping charges are reasonable.
