What is it?
A rare, buttery honey from the white tupelo trees of the Apalachicola River basin. Its unusual sugar balance keeps it liquid for years.
Where does it come from?
The river swamps of the Florida panhandle and a sliver of southern Georgia — one of the smallest honey regions in the country.

What were the bees visiting?
What does it taste like?
Round and buttery with soft pear and a faint warm-spice finish. Famously smooth, with none of the bite some honeys carry.
What does it look like?
Light amber with a green-gold glow when held to light. Silky and thick; true tupelo stays liquid indefinitely.
When is it harvested?
A two- to three-week window in late April and May

Breakfast
Ricotta, Figs & Orange Blossom Honey
The best breakfast requires no cooking. Good bread, fresh ricotta, ripe figs, and a honey that tastes like citrus flowers.
Dessert
Grilled Peaches with Honey & Cream
Halved peaches on a hot grill until they blister, then honey and a spoon of cold cream. Summer, finished.
