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 honour this heritage by blending age-old practices with modern sustainability initiatives, ensuring the protection of our precious bee populations for generations to come.
