The story and the science

New Zealand is home to some of the world’s most exquisite honey, renowned for its  unique flavours and exceptional health benefits. Our honey is produced from the nectar  of diverse native flora, giving it distinct characteristics and qualities that are truly  unmatched.

Cultural Significance 
For centuries, honey has been an integral part of New Zealand's culture, celebrated not  only for its delightful taste but also for its medicinal benefits. The Manuka plant  (Leptospermum scoparium) boasts a rich history of healing within Māori traditions, from  using its bark as a natural sedative to brewing tea from its potent leaves. Today, local  beekeepers honor this heritage by blending age-old practices with modern  sustainability initiatives, ensuring the protection of our precious bee populations for  generations to come.
