Tupelo honey has a distinctively mild, buttery, and floral taste with hints of rosewater, cotton candy, and stone fruits like peach, offering a smooth, rich sweetness without being overpowering. Its unique light golden color with a faint greenish tint comes from Ogeechee tupelo blossoms from South Georgia to Northern Florida, and its high fructose content prevents it from crystallizing, maintaining a silky texture.
Flavor profile: floral (rosewater), and sweet like cotton candy.
Hints of peach, apricot, vanilla, and a light pear-like flavor.
A warm, fruity, and clean finish, sometimes with a hint of cinnamon
Color: Light gold with a unique greenish or yellowish cast.
- Texture: Silky smooth and syrup-like.
- Crystallization: Stays liquid for a very long time due to a high fructose-to-glucose ratio, unlike most honeys.
