SARATOGA SPRINGS — The Savory Pantry will host Jacob Perry, founder of Patagonia Bee Products, at its 486 Broadway location on Saturday, August 5th and Sunday, August 6th, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days.
When Perry, a native of Arkansas, traveled to South America for a backpacking trip, he was captivated by honey unlike any he had ever tasted. Honey imbues flavors and aromas from the flowering trees visited by the bees that make it, imparting luscious floral properties into the honey.
“We are thrilled to welcome Jacob to New York, and excited to introduce these truly extraordinary honeys to Saratoga and the Capital Region,” states Savory Pantry owner Keeley DeSalvo. “This is a rare opportunity to taste the magic of Patagonia, right here on Broadway. You’ll discover the nuances between the different varietals, and learn from an expert the amount of effort and passion that goes into each and every jar.”
Since the hives that yield Ulmo, Tineo, Rainforest, and Valdivian honeys border the native, largely untouched rainforests of Chile, a taste instantly transports you to the only place in the world these honeys are found.
Perry launched Patagonia Bee Products to share geographically unique “hive-to-hand” honeys with the world. In the process, Patagonia Bee Products would be the impetus for the revision of Chilean law to better support the livelihoods of small beekeepers and food producers, as well as providing economically sustainable support for rain forests.
Each jar comes from a single beekeeper, preserving the uniqueness of a place and a harvest season, and is regularly tested to ensure it remains entirely free of GMOs and pesticides.
Customers can enjoy discounts on purchases of three or more of these rare honeys that make wonderful gifts.
The Savory Pantry—with storefronts in Saratoga and Hot Springs, Arkansas, and a popular online marketplace—curates a wide selection of artisan and small-batch specialty foods, cocktail makings, gourmet gifts and customized corporate gifts of unparalleled quality.
