Sourwood Honey

All-natural, raw and unfiltered Sourwood honey from the Appalachian mountains in North Carolina. This great American honey has twice won top honors as "Best Honey in the World"

Description & Origin

In mid-summer, the North American Sourwood tree is covered with showy clusters of small, white flowers. These blossoms look a lot like a lily of the valley flower, and are highly fragrant, which attracts honeybees. But the trees grow in uneven mountain terrain and are spread out here and there. So getting the beehives close to the trees can be a challenge. 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. At $14 a pound in plastic bottles, we have some of the lowest prices you can find anywhere on the internet.

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.
