Raw, Unfiltered, Varietal Honey

Tupelo Honey

Price

$24.00

Harvested from the remote wetlands of northern Florida, Tupelo honey is a rare varietal honey prized for its pale gold color and silken texture. Unfiltered and minimally processed, it captures the brief spring bloom of the white Tupelo tree. The flavor is smooth and buttery with delicate floral notes of jasmine, clover, and cotton candy. Its sweetness feels round and light rather than heavy, lingering with a soft finish that sets it apart from darker varietals.

Spring 2024 Harvest - Light Amber

Bees produce honey from the nectar of blooming plants, and the nectar produced by one flower will be different than that of another flower. Our mission is to seek out distinctive California flora which produce honeys that have the qualities in aroma, taste, texture, and color reflective of their particular species of flower.

As many of you know, it has become increasingly difficult for hard-working honeybees to gather the nectar necessary to produce honey due to dwindling floral sources caused by the ongoing drought in California, the continued impact of Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), and the increasingly harmful effects of habitat loss. We work closely with our beekeeper friends to bring you the highest quality and best tasting, sustainably sourced honey currently available.

All of our honeys are gathered directly from the hive and bottled unpasteurized. This allows the honey to maintain a multitude of health benefits which are often lost in traditional, commercial honey production processes.

Please note: Crystallization is natural for raw, unprocessed honey like ours. Don't worry, though, honey is good forever because of its antibiotic properties which keep it from spoiling! Crystallized honey can be enjoyed in its own right but, if you prefer a more liquid honey, you can soften your crystalized honey by placing the opened jar in hot water bath (make sure not to put the honey over direct heat or you risk changing the flavor and losing some of those great health benefits!) and stirring the honey inside until it liquefies.

Bright, buttery sweetness with gentle floral lift and a clean, lingering finish. Light body that glazes the palate without stickiness. Aromas recall clover blossom and spun sugar, balanced by a soft mineral edge that keeps the sweetness fresh rather than syrupy.

Ingredients: Tupelo Honey

Best as a finishing honey. Drizzle over ripe pears, fresh ricotta, or warm biscuits. Stir into Greek yogurt or herbal tea where its subtle perfume can show. Works beautifully in vinaigrettes, cocktails, or cheese pairings, especially with fresh chèvre or aged gouda. Use sparingly, the flavor opens fully when not buried under heat or spice.
