Sourwood Honey hails from the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. Pure, raw, and delicious, Sourwood Honey is the quintessential mountain honey.
Each August, busy buzzing honeybees feed on the sweet nectar of the beautiful fleecy white flowers of Sourwood Trees, and eager beekeepers are ready and waiting to capture one of the most sought-after raw monofloral honeys in the whole world. Sourwood Honey has a beautiful straw color, and a soft, buttery, caramel aftertaste. The texture is smooth, and the taste, delicious. Sourwood is our signature honey, and because of its high demand, we sell out of it every year.

Sourwood honey is THE BEST honey bar none. Smooth, sweet, and deliciously buttery. & this is a beautiful bottle that I leave out on my kitchen counter, which has garnered many compliments from friends. If you have never tasted Sourwood Honey, do yourself a favor and make the purchase. Your sweet tooth won’t let you regret it!

This honey was delicious! Also the bottle is very beautiful, I used it as a flower vase afterwards. My only complaint is the cork stopper broke after one use and I had to use a wine stopper as an emergency fix.

I used to prefer Tupelo Honey over Sourwood until I received a bottle of your Sourwood Honey for Christmas. Sourwood Honey is always good but yours was the absolute best honey I have ever tasted. When I’m not eating it by the spoonful, I like it best on blueberry pancakes.

On a trip to view fall foliage in Asheville, I stumbled upon ABC. Hesitant at first that honey could command a premium price for…honey, I was stunned when given a sample of of this local honey product. I bought a small jar and I regret not purchasing a larger. If I’m not enjoying it by the spoonfuls, I’m using it in my hot buttered rum toddy’s during the “frigid” Houston winters. It’s worth it’s weight in gold.

i am from pennsylvania, where we have good honey, but had researched honey and had to try sourwood. i ordered online what was supposed to be it…i wasn’t too impressed. i mentioned to a friend who has relatives in north carolina and the next thing i knew…they showed up with a jar of this…OMG..so very good, and, i know it is legit. i JUST got a huge jar of my local honey, but…when it gets low…DEFINITELY will be ordering from here…awesome honey!!!!!!!!
