About Gallberry Honey
Within the pine-wooded wetlands of the southeast US grows the Gallberry Bush. From April to June, the evergreen bush practically drips nectar, providing a feast for local bees. Light in color, with a molasses sweetness, Gallberry Honey is a versatile “everyday” treat and adds a stellar sweetness to cocktails.
