Honey Dew Honey 1kg - Nelson Honey

Love the Taste of New Zealand Gold!

Nelson Honey’s Honeydew is dark in colour and has a similar taste to golden syrup or treacle. This runny honey does not crystallise in cooler temperatures and is delicious with plain yoghurt, on toast, in drinks (smoothies!), or with cereal each morning.

In contrast to most other honey, it is not floral honey. Instead, it is the product of two insect types working to create delicious and unique honey. Small-scale scale-insects inhabit the beech forests and produce a sticky liquid collected by honeybees foraging in remote native Black Beech forests in the South Island of New Zealand. Honeydew is only sourced in certain areas of New Zealand and if you’ve been out tramping around the South Island you will have picked up on the sweet honey smell around some Beech forests and the sound of bees, wasps and Tuis that are all drawn to the drops of Honeydew sticking out from the bark of Beech trees.

Nelson Honey mainly collects its Honeydew Honey from the pristine Nelson Lakes area inland from Nelson City, where the environment is clean, natural, and unaffected by pollution.
