Thyme Honey: Nature’s defense against ageing, anxiety and disease

SOURCE
New Zealand Thyme Honey comes from a single species of thyme that grows wild in the remote and rugged Central Otago Mountains of New Zealand’s South Island. This thyme was broght to New Zealand by the Chinese miners during the gold rush of the 1800s. In this day rugged enviroment thyme has thrived and is considered to bethe only naturlized area of thyme outside Europe. During Springtime the side of the mountains are a mass of purple with thyme flowers, and the air is filled with an amazing fragrance. This is when our unique honey is produced by our bees.

TASTE:
Light acidity and not overly sweet.

FLAVOUR/AROMA:
Simple huge! Pungently, herbish. Definitly an acquired taste but once acquired... wow! In the same way that pungent cheeses (despite the aroma), have an amazing palate clarity, so does our Thyme Honey.

BEST USE:
Perfect with cheese scones and can help make some incredible meat jus’s.

HEALTH BENEFIT

Beech Forest Honeydew Honey: Nature’s aid for digestive health and well being

SOURCE
Unlike our other honeys, whose source comes from the nectar of flowers, this honey is sourced from the sap produced by a small scale insect that feeds off the beech trees. The sap trickles down the outside of the tree and is collected by our bees during early winter and spring, when there is no or little other floral sources for the bees to forage, resulting in a very pure honey with very special properties and flavour. New Zealand Honeyco Beech Forest Honeydew comes from the untouched, ancient beech forests that stretch along the base of the Southern Alps, in the South Island of New Zealand. There is no other activity here other than beekeeping, resulting in a honey as pure and natural as you will ever find.

COLOUR:
Fine, silky smooth liquid in a deep gold-chestnut red colouring.

FLAVOUR/AROMA:
Clean and refreshing flavour that is not too sweet, with a spicy orange peel aroma.

BEST USE:
Wonderful as a spread with nutty breads, fantastic with fruit and works well with any Moroccan style dish sweet or savoury.

HEALTH BENEFIT

It has one of the highest pre-biotic ratings* of any honey in the world and is the ideal support, to maintain a healthy digestive flora (beneficial bacteria).

Having healthy digestive flora helps your overall well being. It allows proper digestion, improves the absorption of nutrients such as calcium and helps maintain healthy intestine acidity (pH). It prevents colonisation of dangerous and harmful pathogens and yeasts and also neutralises harmful toxins associated with disease and cancer. It lowers the incidence of allergies, as well as protecting us from colorectal cancer and inflammatory bowel disease.
