The True Honey

Pristine New Zealand honey

The bee hives are carefully placed deep in New Zealand’s beautiful back country, in the most remote areas where the air’s clear and the Manuka’s blooming. These pristine, secluded locations (accessible only by helicopter) are chosen for being surrounded by dense Manuka bush and far from potential sources of pollution or contamination. This means that each batch of Manuka honey is the precious result of the unique terroir (soil, topography and climate) of the area where the honeybees are foraging. This can subtly influence the honey’s colour, viscosity and flavour.
