Winter White Honey Is Among the Best Tasting Honey Varieties in the World
Winter white honey – remember that phrase and start buying it now because it is among the most delicious and amazing honey varieties in the entire world. The name winter white honey comes from the color of the honey, which is derived from the wildflowers in the Rocky Mountains of Idaho that the honey bees use to create this nectar. It’s white and creamy, not yellow or amber. The flavor is unreal. None of us have ever had anything like it. We opened a bottle and soon everyone was laughing and dipping spoons in eating it like candy.

Our reserve of Winter White Honey. The local area was completely sold out of the 12 ounce jars so we stockpiled 3 ounce jars to get us through to the next harvest season.
The flavor has a hint of fruit with an aftertaste of cinnamon, exactly like the product description says. It’s raw honey – you get all the good stuff that comes from what is found in nature. It’s so popular, and so rare, that it sells out of stock quickly and you can only get it from part of the year. Warm it and drizzle it over waffles, scones, toast, and even cinnamon rolls. It’s heaven. I know this sounds ridiculous, but it’s unlike anything we’ve ever tasted. I’m giving you the dividends from our honey research – take it. Add this to your life.
The company that manufactures winter white honey – er, rather, harvests it since it is the bees that manufacture the stuff – is called the Savannah Bee Company, and they have their headquarters in Savannah, Georgia. They sell a wide range of honey and beeswax products that are also worth checking out if you have the time and are interested.
This is instantly one of those things that will now always be in my house, even if I have to special order crates of it while it is in season. Honey itself doesn’t go bad, so the shelf life is indefinite. The reviews are virtually flawless, too, so it’s not just me who feels this way, it’s a mini cult of passionate consumers who buy up the supply when it is announced. People talk about this stuff like it is practically a spiritual experience and I can confirm, it’s amazing.
The quality difference is so high, you will pay for it – depending on where you live and whether it is in season, a 12 ounce jar of winter white honey will run you at least $16.55, sometimes more, which is roughly 430% more per ounce than the cheap stuff you get a mass discount retailer – but it is worth every penny. When you get your first jar, make sure to mix it well to get it back to that wonderful, creamy consistency.
There are still several other honey flavors we need to try. I haven’t gotten my Manuka Honey, which is world famous and made in New Zealand only. As far as dessert honeys go, winter white honey is the honey for my, for the rest of my life. I can’t imagine anything better than this. I’ll still keep going through them all, just like we did we perfumes, teas, coffees, furniture brands, etc., etc., but this is the winner. This is … perfect. It’s not even honey it’s like … ice cream or cake icing or good dreams. Buy it. Buy all you can.

Thanks for the heads up! I'm definitely going to check this out. We currently live in Boise and plan on moving to the mountains in Northern ID later this year to have a small farm... I wonder if bee-keeping might just be a possible pursuit. =)

Joshua - thanks for the tip! Thought of you when learning abouy this website that tells you the best item in every category. Obviously there's loads of room for interpretation, but at the very least, it may provide good starting points for research.

Do you know whether I can purchase these in Sydney, Australia? I can't seem to find any mention of them through a google search.

The actual official company itself sells direct through this page, but it is currently out of stock.
The good news: The Savannah Bee company says in their disclosures you can call them at (800) 955-5080 or email them at [email protected] and they will point you in the right direction for a local supplier. They list Australia on their store directory but you'd need to reach out to them to tell you where you could buy it locally as they will have the name of the retailer. That would be where I start.
As a last resort, you could try ordering online through an authorized retailer. The Stripling's General Store has it listed on their website for only $14. It might not still be in stock, but it would be worth contacting them.
When you find it, if you like it, buy everything you can because it can be difficult to secure. There are a couple places here in Kansas City that carry it and we went out and bought everything we could find.
