Product Description

The Sourwood honey is considered one of the world's rarest and finest honeys. This is a complex honey with a beautiful caramel shade. It is only harvested in the Autumn, high in the southern Appalachian Mountains, if it's even harvested at all, so it's extremely rare. It has a gingerbread taste with a hint of maple and spice, making it an award-winner and very sought after. Consider stocking up to be sure you can enjoy this honey for months to come. All of this gourmet taste and color is presented in an equally as beautiful tall thin flute with corked cap. The shape is lovely and allows you to fully appreciate the distinctive color and complexity of this honey! <p><b>About the Savannah Bee Company </b><br> The Savannah Bee Comapany was established in 2002 in Savannah, GA and has grown by leaps and bounds while still remaining true to their boutique feel and environmental consciousness.

5.0 out of 5 stars High quality honey, December 8, 2008

This review is from: The Savannah Bee Company 100% Pure Sourwood Honey Flute (Misc.)

I have tried all the current (as of 12/08) varieties of honey that the Savannah Bee Company has to offer. Some I like more than others, but what never changes is the high quality of the honey itself. Any honey lover will appreciate the quality of this honey. This is not the stuff you buy at a grocery store!
Varities offered by national honey producers pale in comparison with the depth of flavor and the raw, fresh from the hive thickness of this honey.
Its worth the price for anyone that can appreciate the difference.

1.0 out of 5 stars Sour and Bitter, August 14, 2010

I have only tried the raw Sourwood honey from Savannah Bee Company but I have had 35+ years of experience eating and tasting sourwood honey throughout the SE United States. I lived in Blue Ridge, GA on the Tocca River and had Sourwood trees on my property. The sourwood honey I received from Savannah Bee Company was like no other sourwood honey I have ever tasted. It was actually sour on the initial taste, then bitter on the after taste. It was thick and a rather dark amber color. Anyone that knows sourwood honey knows it is not supposed to be sour. I have never experienced bitter honey before in my life. A small amount of the honey had leaked in the packaging during shipment making unpacking a messy affair. I give this honey 1 star only because there is no lower ranking. If you are thinking about buying this product do yourself a favor and buy from another sourwood producer as well, then taste for yourself the difference.

I really like the flavor of this honey. To me, it tastes like anise or fennel (a nice, light licorice flavor). It pours really well from the flute-shaped bottle. I have given this honey as a gift, used it as a syrup on french toast, and cooked it into a Honey-Jager BBQ sauce with some organic apple cider vinegar and a shot of Jagermeister. I've used the sauce on pork ribs and also for dipping eggrolls.
