Yes. Tupleo (nyssa sylvatica) has a very unique flavor with a wafting of almost sharp, floral aroma on your palate as a fine wine does. Some describe it as hoppy. It is well known for its resistant to crystallization.The Tupelo, to my knowledge, only grows in the southeast but is concentrated in the Chatahoochee/Appalachicola and Choctawhatchee River’s Basin’s in Northwest Florida, southern Alabama, and Georgia.
I grew up on it so it is what honey is supposed to taste like in my mind. Some vendors are selling it online for as much as $40 USD per .lb! At our local association Monday evening we were told of producer that sold multiple 50 gallon drums for $10,500 USD each. About $18.USD/lb! It is unique and worth trying.
ULEE’S GOLD was actually filmed in the town of Appalachicola and my mentor now was, at the time the assistant Chief Apiary Inspector for the State of Florida and was a consultant on the film.
