Honey For Mead

If you have our Mead Making Kit & need honey to get started, try some of our favorite honey for mead making. While you can use any honey to make mead, we often revisit the same trusted varieties over and over again. Mead Maker’s Choice honeys are hand selected varieties specifically for making mead.

Each bottle contains 40 oz (2.5 lb) of honey, which is exactly what you need to ferment 1 gallon of mead. This honey can also be used to backsweeten your mead. Our single origin honeys are 100% pure and natural with no additives for flavorings.

We offer bulk honey for mead in 2 varieties:

Orange Blossom Honey: Sweet, flowery & citrusy - this renowned honey variety is a mead maker favorite. Notes of white flower and zesty orange make for a delicious and complex mead. This straw colored honey is harvested from bees that pollinate Citrus × sinensis (sweet orange or navel orange). Orange Blossom Honey is always best sourced from trusted farms, as this covetable variety is often artificially flavored. This honey is tested for Methyl anthranilate, the natural compound that gives orange blossom its flavor, to ensure authenticity.

Wildflower Honey: The name wildflower is given to honey harvested from bees that pollinate multiple flowers. The main floral sources for our wildflower honey are naturally occurring wildflowers in South Brazil. This wildflower honey for mead making is reddish amber in color with herbal, floral and sweet notes, perfect for a simple mead or a fruited mead!
