About Us


Since it's inception in 1946, Dutch Gold Honey has been focused on fulfilling the motto of its founder, Ralph Gamber, " We only pack the best". What began as a beekeeping hobby for Ralph and Luella Gamber has grown to become the largest family-owned honey company in the United States.
Located in Lancaster, PA, the "Heart of Pennsylvania Dutch Country", Dutch Gold Honey was named for the early settlers in the region, who were "Deutch" (German) and the beautiful golden color.
What makes Dutch Gold Honey so special? Varieties!! Just as people enjoy pairing various cheeses and wines, the same holds true for honey. Dutch Gold offers many floral varieties of pure and all-natural honey. The flavor of the honey is determined by the nectar of the blossom or flower that the honey bee visited. The honey created from the nectar of the orange blossom looks and tastes totally different than the honey from a buckwheat blossom. Dutch Gold does not add anything to the honey to impart these unique flavor profiles. It is all up to Mother Nature and the honey bee.
