 Not what it used to be...Jul 01, 2010
By Ex-cataloger
Whatever happened to Cal's Tupelo Honey? I bought it for years in the natural food stores locally. None of them carry it anymore. Trying to locate the company, I spent a futile hour searching the Internet.
The label on my old jar says "Cairo, GA 39828". Not to be found anywhere on Google, white pages or yellow. After checking Amazon, I see that the label on the 22 oz. bottles says "Calvary, GA 31729". Same non-results on Google. The local retailer suggests that they may have been bought out. It troubles me that they are unfindable. What troubles me even more, however, is that the bottom half-inch of my current (and last) jar has crystallized. Tupelo honey should never crystallize, so my assumption is that it's being cut with some other, probably cheaper, kind of honey.
If you're looking for tupelo honey, see the website operated by The National Honey Board. It lists apiaries in every state which produce many varieties of honey, including tupelo, often with links to those websites, and has useful information in addition. Cal's Honey isn't to be found. Too bad. It was a favorite of mine.

NOT REAL TUPELO HONEY!! DO NOT BUY...Oct 20, 2010
By David Verba
"Verballz"
My first negative review......
This is NOT real Tupelo honey! In fact I doubt if its pure/real honey at all. It crystallizes QUICKLY, much faster than the cheap-o store brands, spring blossom or even clover. Tupelo honey should NEVER EVER crystallize, hence the high price. With this product your paying a premium price for a extremely poor quality honey. I'm also willing to bet they use HFCS as a "food" for the bee's. If you want REAL Tupelo honey look elsewhere. Do NOT purchase this product if you enjoy real/raw/quality honey!
I will be contacting Amazon.com to see if there is any recourse for this purchase. Amazon has the BEST customer service, and will continue to do 99% of my shopping on the site.

 RAW, real honey, and the best premium kind you can get!Jun 12, 2010
By A Research It Maven
"Just the facts please"
Tupelo honey is the finest honey on the market, and Cal's Honey, Tupelo, 22-Ounce Squeeze Bottle (Pack of 3) is value priced! Tupelo honey does not get grainy or turn solid over time, and it is digested differently than other sugars so it doesn't cause sugar highs and lows - making it a good choice even for diabetics. This is thin, free-flowing honey, so we store it in the refrigerator to make it pour thicker. The flat top on the container makes it easy to store upside down for fast dispensing! Cal's Tupelo Honey is produced in Georgia, USA.
More facts: Tupelos are valued as honey plants in the southeastern United States, particularly in the Gulf Coast region. They produce a very light, mild-tasting honey. In northern Florida, beekeepers keep beehives along the river swamps on platforms or floats during tupelo bloom to produce certified tupelo honey, which commands a high price on the market because of its flavor. Monofloral honey made from the nectar of the Ogeechee Tupelo has such a high ratio of fructose to glucose that it does not crystallize.
The Apalachicola River in the Florida Panhandle is the center for tupelo honey. The honey is produced wherever tupelo trees (three species) bloom in southeastern USA, but the purest and most expensive version (which is certified by pollen analysis) is produced in this Florida valley.

 Tupelo Honey ?Dec 21, 2011
By BOB
Have purchased this honey in the past. I does crystallize, which tells one this ( IN MY OPINION ) isn't totally Tupelo Honey. Pure Tupelo Honey does not crystallize. I now purchase CERTIFIED TUPELO Honey. it is not that more expressive and is like night & day in Quality & Taste... Just finished a gallon and were no crystals even in the bottom of my container after setting almost a year. The one container of the above Honey I have left is now totally crystalized, and makes it nice to spread on toast.
THANK YOU
BOB

Never crystalizesJan 29, 2010
By M. Wyze
This is a wonderful price for Tulepo honey, and It's even better that this is a raw honey.
There's never any waste with this type of honey, as it simply doesn't crystalize. It tastes
great, with just a faint hint of lemon.
