Nothing You Wouldn't Put in Your Own Kitchen
The jar that got opened in the car on the way home. Not because anyone was hungry. Because sometimes honey smells like the question you've been asking—what does good actually taste like?

We've been making honey and blending tea in Owings Mills since the beginning. All of our honey here is Star K kosher certified, packaged in glass, and sold with the assumption that you'll actually use it. Not because it looks good on a shelf. Because it works in tea at 6am, on toast when you're too tired to cook, and in that marinade you're making up as you go.
Our honey comes from beekeepers across the country and world—some from the Eastern Shore, others from as far as Ukraine and Guatemala. Each varietal tastes like where it came from. Tupelo from Florida swamps. Coffee Blossom from Guatemalan highlands. Sunflower from Ukrainian fields. Lighter honey tastes sweeter. Darker honey tastes more like the blossoms. What's available rotates with the harvest, but the jars stay honest about where every drop originated.
Small Batch in Owings Mills
We jar everything in our Maryland facility. Same people checking every batch. Same standards for what makes it through. When someone texts asking where they bought "that honey," it's usually ours.
Actually Kosher
Star K certified for honey. OU certified for lollipops. Not a marketing label. The actual rabbinical certification that means something to people who need it to mean something.
Honey from Everywhere
Tupelo. Sourwood. Blackberry. Coffee Blossom. Ukrainian Sunflower. Each jar lists exactly what the bees were pollinating. Geographic honesty matters more than marketing copy.
Tea Without the Ceremony
Loose leaf in jars. Caffeine levels listed. Water temperature and steeping time on every label because it actually matters—black tea isn't herbal tea isn't rooibos. Tea that works in the morning and tea that works at night.
Gets Used, Not Displayed
Honeycomb makes a cheese plate better. Honey sticks go in gym bags. Lollipops get opened at stoplights. Everything here ends up sticky or empty. That's the point.
Gourmet Pantry FAQs
Lighter honey tastes sweeter. Darker honey tastes more like the flowers the bees visited. If you're new to varietal honey, start with Wildflower or Orange Blossom. If you want something with more personality, try Buckwheat or Sourwood.
No. Some comes from Eastern Shore beekeepers, but we also source Sunflower honey from Ukraine, Coffee Blossom from Guatemala, and varietals from across the United States. Every honey description lists exactly where it came from.
Stored in a sealed jar away from light and moisture, about a year. But honestly, most people finish it within a few months because it gets used.
Yes. Real honey, not honey flavoring. OU kosher certified. The flavored ones (like Lavender or Cinnamon) are honey with natural flavor extracts added.
You can. Most people don't. It's better on cheese, with fruit, or just eaten straight from the container. The wax is edible—you chew it like gum and spit it out or swallow it.
Star K is one of the most recognized kosher certification agencies. For our honey, it means the entire production process meets strict kosher standards. For customers who keep kosher, this certification matters. For everyone else, it's a sign of quality control and ingredient transparency.
