Tupelo [Not in season: Currently Out of Stock]

Tupelo honey, like sourwood honey, is also deemed as a rarity. It is sold in its purest form and is collected by a skilled beekeeper. Tupelo honey is made from the nectar of the White Ogeechee Tupelo gum tree (also known as swamp gum tree), which grows in the wetlands of Southern Georgia and the river basins of Northwest Florida. Bees are released to Tupelo blossoms between April and May which will then return after the period with the nectar to produce the prized honey.

Tupelo honey comes in a light amber color with a slightly green tint. It is a premium table honey with a mild and unique flavor with floral hints. Tupelo honey is also the only honey that doesn’t crystallize because of its enzyme content. Tupelo honey is recommended for people suffering from diabetes.
