What makes Savannah Bee Company so special is the range of products.

I thought it might be like eating a beeswax candle, but I was wrong. The waxy comb disappears and you are left with the purest type of bee-to-consumer experience. You just break off a hunk and plop it on yogurt or directly in your mouth. In the past I wondered what to do with it do you squeeze it like a sponge? The answer is simple and delicious. Yes, I mean the geometrically shaped block of honey in bee’s wax that looks like it came directly from the hive to you. I tried something I had seen before but could not imagine eating, that is Acacia Honey still in the comb. On the bolder side I loved the dark Sourwood Honey and the seductive Lavender Honey.Īt the store. I would say Tupelo Honey is the most perfectly balanced of all that I tried, sweet but not cloyingly so, almost too good to add to a recipe. Once the honey has run out you must wait a year for the next season.

It is a small batch (read: very expensive) product only available for harvest once a year from bees that pollinate on the tupelo tree in northern Florida. One of the rarest honeys is Tupelo Honey, and, no, it does not come from Tupelo, Miss., birthplace of Elvis. These honeys are special and do not taste like they come from the old plastic bear-shaped container at the supermarket. They do all basically taste the same, but like wine, they have subtle nuances that take a while to develop on the tongue The honeys at Savannah Bee have been curated from local beekeepers and far-flung international ones. 43 Church Lane, Westport See More Collapse
