Tupelo Honey (Extra Light Amber) 60-lb Bucket

PROUDLY AMERICAN 🇺🇸

Specification Table

Virtually Never Crystallizes

With an industry-leading fructose-to-glucose ratio of ≈ 1.60—far above the 1.20–1.30 you see in clover or wildflower—Tupelo Honey behaves more like a light syrup than a conventional honey:

Never-ending liquidity. Left on a shelf at 68 °F (20 °C) it remains pourable not for months but for multiple years, eliminating the hot rooms, warming blankets, and labor hours other honeys devour.

Zero crystallization hotspots. Even in cold storage (down to 50 °F / 10 °C) Tupelo resists nucleation, so no grit forms at the bottom of squeeze bottles and no sugar crust builds on drum walls.

Process savings. Skip jacketed kettles and inline heaters; a standard food-grade drum pump or bucket valve is all you need to move product from vessel to mixer, filler, or fermenter—no energy spend, no enzyme loss.

The result is an effortless, velvety flow that treats a 60-lb bucket or a 661-lb drum exactly the same: open, dispense, close—done. In other words, liquidity engineered by nature, efficiency claimed by you.

Best-in-Class Flavor

Signature taste: imagine warm butter drizzled with the lightest cane-syrup ribbon: satin-smooth, softly floral, and just sweet enough to command attention without overwhelming a palate. First notes recall vanilla bean and fresh-cut sugarcane; a faint green-apple brightness lifts the mid-taste, keeping the richness from ever feeling heavy.

Finish: it exits like a whisper: impeccably clean, zero bitterness, no cloying film. Within seconds the sweetness dissolves, leaving only a gentle memory of honeyed cream and the curiosity to take another spoonful.

Exclusively USA-Made

True Tupelo blossoms for barely two weeks a year in the river swamps of northern Florida and southern Georgia. Harvesting anywhere else? Impossible. Buying it means you’re backing American beekeepers who literally wade—or float—into wild wetlands to capture this fleeting bloom.

The Trees Behind the Treasure

Botanical Identity
Our honey comes solely from the White Tupelo ( Nyssa ogeche ), sometimes called Ogeechee Tupelo. These flood-plain giants reach 50–90 ft, rooting happily in standing water where most trees would rot. In mid-to-late April they erupt in clusters of pale, greenish-white blossoms—fragrant pompoms that drip nectar for a vanishingly short 14- to 21-day window. Miss that window and the bees go home empty-handed.

Why They’re Special
The nectar chemistry of Nyssa ogeche is unique: exceptionally high fructose, minimal glucose, and a naturally low pH that keeps yeast at bay. The result? A honey that stays liquid, resists fermentation, and glows Extra Light Amber like sunlit straw.

Bulk Advantage—Why the 60-lb Bucket Wins

Running a busy bakery, gelato lab, craft brewery, or high-volume kitchen? The 60-pound (27 kg) food-grade bucket is your sweet spot between portability and scale:

• Human-friendly weight: One person can lift and tip it—no drum hoist, no pallet jack, no ergonomic claims.
• Ready-to-pour liquidity: Tupelo’s ultra-high F/G ratio means it flows straight from the gate valve at room temperature—no warming blankets, no enzyme loss.
• Snap-tight, resealable lid: Open, dispense, reseal; keeps contaminants out during multi-day service.
• Inventory agility: Five buckets fit the footprint of one steel drum—perfect for kitchens with limited floor space or multiple prep stations.
• Cost control: Bulk pricing beats retail jars, but you’re not forced to commit to 300 kg at once—ideal for seasonal menus and R&D trials.

Workflow Gains

• Zero downtime. Cut the time-sucking ritual of hot boxes and water baths; the honey stays pourable between 55 °F and 85 °F (13–29 °C).
• Cross-station flexibility. Pick it up, roll it on a dolly, or stage it on a shelf—no forklifts needed when the lunch rush hits.

In short, the 60-lb bucket gives you craft-scale economy without the industrial hardware—more uptime, more flavor integrity, zero fuss.

Every Honey Blossom variety ships in its natural, untouched state RAW and Unfiltered unless you expressly ask for a different spec. That means no pasteurizers, no ultrafine filters, and absolutely no shortcuts. We capture each harvest at peak bloom, gravity-strain it to remove only large comb particles, and seal it promptly so the live enzymes, antioxidants, pollen, and volatile aromatics stay exactly as the bees created them. The result is nature’s best delivered shelf-ready, process-ready, and future-ready, with zero heat damage and the full integrity of the floral source preserved.

Do not feed honey to infants under 1 year of age.
