The perfect gift for chefs and food lovers, this limited edition collection has 5 of the rarest honey varietals recognized in the Slow Food Ark of Taste. This exclusive honey flight gives you a chance to enjoy unique and endangered single source honey varietals from around the country and learn about the master beekeepers behind them.
Foraging for up to 6 miles from the hive, a honey bee collects pollen from any source she can find. This produces a wildflower honey, which is a mix of pollen sources. A single varietal honey however is something very special. The bees must forage on only one plant, and these plants are often only in bloom a few weeks each year. It requires expert bee-keeping to chase the bloom in dwindling untamed habitats and produce these very rare honeys.
This very limited edition flight is the first time all 5 honeys can be tasted side by side. Including a flavor wheel, tasting notes, a honey dipper and a guide for your own tasting adventure.
Working directly with some of the best beekeepers across the nation, we have assembled 5 of the rarest honeys in the Slow Foods Ark of Taste.
This distinctive buttery, floral honey is produced exclusively in the swamplands along the Apalachicola and Ochlockonee rivers in Florida. The trees bloom for just 2-3 weeks each year making this highly prized honey difficult to obtain in a pure form.
Sourwood honey in its pure form is incredibly rare. Producing this highly sought after honey requires an expert beekeeper with keen timing to manage the very short bloom time of the Sourwood tree. Honey connoisseurs clamor for it's distinctive flavor.
Gallberry honey is harvested from a wild evergreen holly bush found only in the rapidly shrinking forests of southern Florida and northern Georgia. It has a sublime herbaceous flavor that makes it a favorite of chefs.
Rare, certified organic Kiawe Honey is gathered from an isolated Kiawe forest on the island of Hawaii. Pure Kiawe Honey rapidly and naturally crystallizes into an exceptionally creamy texture, creating a pearly white honey with a unique, delicate tropical flavor unlike anything you have ever tasted.
The Ohi’a Lehua blossom that thrives in the rain forests of the Kau regions of the island produces a smooth, white honey that is thick and creamy. It’s unique texture is creamy yet slightly crystallized. The flavor is sweet, but not overpowering. The taste could be described as floral with undertones of salted caramel.
