The Stephens family, from which we source this honey, have rare bee sites deep within the World Heritage Listed forests on the South West coast of Tasmania. Indeed they go so deep into the forests that they grade the roads themselves and are the only humans to have been into this area since it was heritage listed in 1982.  This is leatherwood flower nectar collected from an area of the world that is so pristine.

In 2015, the Apimondia International Apicultural Congress named a leatherwood honey the world's best-tasting honey. Leatherwood honey is a sought-after variety of honey with a unique flavor and aroma:
  • Flavor: Leatherwood honey has a complex, layered flavor with notes of spice, citrus, white flowers, and subtle earth and wood. It's often described as creamy, buttery, and smooth, with a well-balanced sweetness.
  • Aroma: Leatherwood honey has a strong, intense floral aroma.
  • Color: Leatherwood honey is ochre-yellow in color.
  • Texture: Leatherwood honey has a smooth and creamy texture.
Leatherwood honey is rare and special, and it's difficult to acquire:
  • Access Leatherwood trees can be centuries old and hidden deep in the forest, making them hard to access. Logging, wildfires, and catastrophic weather have reduced the number of accessible leatherwood groves.
  • Production
    It takes 70 years for a baby leatherwood tree to reach nectar-producing maturity.
Leatherwood honey is believed to have health benefits, including: Antioxidants: High in antioxidants, which may help prevent heart disease, arthritis, and cataracts
  • Prebiotics: May help digestive health by promoting the growth of good gut bacteria
  • Antibacterial: May have antibacterial properties
  • Anti-inflammatory: May have anti-inflammatory properties
