Dutch Gold Honey
Also known as: Dutch Gold
Dutch Gold Honey is an American family honey packer based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Dutch Gold Honey is an American family honey packer based in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. The story began in 1946, when Ralph Gamber bought three hives at a Lancaster County auction; he and his wife Luella bottled the first crop in their kitchen. The first Honey House for extracting and packing was built in 1954, and in 1957 the idea of the squeezable plastic honey bear was born at the Gambers' dinner table. In 1997 the family bought the McLure's brands from Littleton, New Hampshire.
The range includes Clover, Orange Blossom, Buckwheat, Wildflower, Organic, Golden, Moorland Raw, Honey Bear, bulk pails. Varieties are tagged by colour and taste (from amber to very dark). Origin is given on product pages: Orange Blossom honey, for example, is sourced from North and South America; some honeys carry the True Source Certified tag.
Why this matters to you: Dutch Gold Honey packs varieties of different colour and origin, so the variety name and the sourcing line on the product page matter more than the brand itself.
