Sourwood honey is highly regarded by honey makers and connoisseurs alike. With a beautiful straw color, the Sourwood texture is smooth and comes across as 'rich' versus a more typically 'sweet' conventional honey. The flavor profile is a soft delicious caramel. Sourwood is indigenous to the Southern Appalachians that run across the regions of Northern Georgia and Northwestern Carolina. The trees grow in wild locations - not convenient orchard like settings, and challenges like inquisitive bears or extended rainy periods make for often small, and increasingly rare, honey harvests. Sourwood flowers are white and bell-shaped, and they dangle from branches in clusters that can be a foot long. Sourwood is one of the local honeys that are well recommended for people with regional allergies.
