Gallberry Honey

Honeybee Hut – Gallberry Honey

Foraged Across Nassau County, Florida

Our Gallberry Honey is one of North Florida’s most distinguished and traditional honey varieties. Harvested from our hives placed near dense stands of gallberry bushes throughout Nassau County, this mono-floral honey offers a rich, elegant flavor that is both complex and unmistakably Southern.

Gallberry—an evergreen holly native to the Southeast—produces a nectar known for its warm, spicy, and smoky undertones, a touch of natural bitterness, and a smooth, woody finish with molasses-like depth. This creates a honey that is more robust and layered compared to Wildflower honey, which tends to be milder and varies with the season.

Local honey is defined as honey produced within 50–100 miles of where it is sold, while regional honey may extend up to 300 miles. Our Gallberry Honey is truly local to Northeast Florida, offering a flavor unique to the landscapes of Nassau County.

How to Enjoy It

Gallberry honey shines in recipes that benefit from depth and warmth. Drizzle it over biscuits or cornbread, add it to tea or coffee for a richer flavor, pair it with aged cheeses, or use it in marinades, glazes, and baked goods. Its molasses-like notes make it perfect for Southern cooking and everyday enjoyment.

A North Florida Classic

Loved for generations, Gallberry Honey is known for its consistency, character, and connection to the region’s native plants. Every jar highlights the unique flavor of Nassau County’s gallberry bloom—bold, earthy, and beautifully complex.
