Muscadine from OzarkFresh.com

YouTube - Ozark Fresh Muscadine Review

I need to figure out what happened to the Triple Berry and the Citrus Burst flavors that I bought, but I ended up just reviewing the Muscadine from OzarkFresh.com.

Their flavors though are robust, but not overpowering. The Triple Berry and Citrus Burst will eventually get reviews. The Muscadine is awesome! I've also had their Clove and their Kentucky Burley. I'm not a clove fan, but it was a strong, clean taste. Their Kentucky Burley was also strong in flavor and was very similar to RY4. Tasted great!

I got in contact with the folks at OzarkFresh and they said they're still making the Muscadine. I asked if they'd put it back on their website's menu, but I haven't heard back from them yet. I'll post what I find out.

Muscadine huh? That sounds interesting.

 

[Dhileas]

It is! I've never tasted a muscadine before this review, so I'm assuming it's spot-on. Mainly because it tastes like juice (as in real fruit juice). It's a strong but delicious flavor! Kind of like some type of berry or grape.

Muscadine is a pretty obscure flavor when you think about it. I only know what it tastes like because I was a wine enthusiast for many years. It is pretty much the only native grape worth making wine out of that can be grown in the deep, humid South. If you stop at local wineries in places like Tennessee and Georgia, you will end up seeing a lot of muscadine.

If OF puts it back up for sale, I will definitely try it.

They told me they still make it, so I assume it can be ordered if you e-mail them. They didn't say why it wasn't on the website anymore. It may be a seasonal thing.

I've always been a humongous fan of mulberries, and I have a friend that makes homemade mead and a few different melomels. I've been trying like hell to find a way to get him a big bulk order of fresh mulberries, so he could make a morat, but they seem to only be used to feed silkworms these days. Pisses me off royally. They're just SO GOOD! /cry

Lol come on over in a couple of months Dhileas and bring some sheets. I've got two large mulberry trees in the yard with most of the berries going to the birds unfortunately. I just can't get out and shake the branches like I once could.

Or, you could just check with this guy; http://www.localharvest.org/metromulberries-M24180. He's in Palo Alto, CA.

Wow thanks for the link! I'll have to send my buddy over there! Yeah, when I was in the Midwest, the blackbirds and pigeons would eat up a lot of the mulberries. We'd end up with purple bird droppings all over the place. I didn't know they grew down in Arkansas though! They weren't exactly flourished in Nebraska, but they were fairly common. Supposedly they can survive the Southwest climate. Eventually, we'll own our home, and then we'll certainly be planting some mulberry trees for sure!

Oh yeah, mulberry, muscadine, huckleberry, blueberry, elderberry, blackberry... you name it and it probably grows here. You can gather wild if you don't mind fighting the bears for them. I grew up watching my grandmother put up jars and jars of preserves and jams. Others in the family made homemade wines with whichever fruit was available at the moment. In fact, I believe at least one of the wineries in the state makes several different non traditional wines.

After living there for several years I believe Nebraska's more suited to cattle and corn. lol I'm with you though, we're currently looking for a house with some good sized property so we can put in fruit trees and vines.

Yeah, depending on the species, mulberry trees do pretty well in the Midwest. So did watermelons! I had about ten vines of Sugar Baby watermelons and they were pretty much elbow to elbow full of great melons!
