New Zealand's Natural Heritage
- New Zealand is the youngest country on earth - the last major landmass to be discovered.
- No fewer than 80% of New Zealand’s native plants & trees are endemic – occurring here and nowhere else.
- Foraged from the nectar of our native flora, our Native NZ honey range provides a distinct taste of New Zealand.
- The native flora of New Zealand is rich and unique having evolved in isolation for millions of years. Because of this it has a distinctive look about it which creates a one of a kind taste palette. No fewer than 80% of New Zealand's native plants & trees are endemic - occurring here & nowhere else.
The taste & aroma of honey depends on the bees foraging conditions - the weather, the regional & seasonal differences they harvest within. The flavours in a single honey are as complex as the range of different aromas during a single day of a flowering flora.
That is why honey is such an exciting natural product as it mirrors the diverse images of New Zealand!
With the personality of each type of honey, a general rule is that the lighter the colour of the honey the more mild the flavour. As the colour gets richer & darkens, the palette sensation deepens to a stronger profile. Honey is the health food for the millennium – good for us & good for the environment.
