Holly Honey

Floral Source & Origin

The gallberry low bush thrives in the pine woodlands of the American southeast. It's an evergreen plant in the holly family, which is the name we use on our labels. Gallberry plants are covered with little white flowers in mid-Spring each year. These flowers may be small, but they produce a lot of nectar which make for a reliable honey crop every year. In late summer, gallberry plants produce small round berries with a dark purple juice that stains your hands and clothes. Hence, the other name for this plant: inkberry. Our gallberry honey comes to you from a beekeeper located in southern Georgia.

Flavor Profile

Holly honey is not too sweet and not too floral. It has a bit of a bite to it at the end, but nothing too harsh. We like to say that this is a very good choice for an everyday honey.
