Sourwood: Prized for its buttery, caramel-smooth sweetness with a gentle spice finish, Sourwood is one of the Southeast's most sought-after specialty honeys. This exceptional honey comes from the Appalachian Mountain forests of Georgia, where Sourwood trees bloom for just 2–3 weeks between late June and July. Because this unique nectar flow is brief and highly dependent on weather, we carefully partner with trusted Georgia mountain beekeepers who specialize in harvesting authentic Sourwood honey. Fun fact: Sourwood trees are so unpredictable that they rarely produce a strong nectar crop two years in a row, and even when they bloom, unfavorable weather can drastically reduce the harvest, making genuine Sourwood honey exceptionally scarce. In the fall, the same trees that provide this remarkable nectar turn brilliant shades of crimson and scarlet, creating one of the Appalachian Mountains' most beautiful displays. Crystallization period: approximately 6–12 months.
