1 lb. Sourwood Honey – Glass

Sourwood honey is prized for its unique, complex flavor: buttery, caramel sweetness with notes of spice (ginger, anise), maple, and floral hints, often with a pleasant, clean finish and sometimes a slight gingerbread “twang,” making it rich, aromatic, and sought-after, with no actual sour taste. Its light amber color and smooth, syrupy texture complement its rich taste, perfect for drizzling over foods or enjoying in tea.  Sourwood trees can be found in North Georgia, Western North Carolina, and Eastern Tennessee.
