you'll love it as much as they do.
WHAT IS TUPELO?
The South's Liquid Gold.
Tupelo honey (specifically nyssa aquatica for this area) is unique because unlike clover or wildflower honey, it can only be harvested in a small region of the United States. The honey has a high ratio of fructose to glucose and will not crystallize. The flavor is mild and delicious.
