Sourwood

Sourwood honey isn’t named after its taste. It takes its name from its source, the sourwood trees of the Southeast and Midwestern United States. This honey actually has a sweet, buttery, slightly spicy taste that’s reminiscent of caramel and a pleasant aftertaste, with a beautiful amber color. It’s delicious as a spread on toast or English muffins.

The health benefits of sourwood honey are similar to other varieties without specific healing properties: it’s a good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that can help maintain overall well-being. And like wildflower honey, it’s believed to help fight allergy symptoms.
