How many Australian #honey types do you know？
There are blends of golden liquid honey ranging from pale yellow to deep rich amber, jellied, creamed honey and even honey in the comb — it’s tasty and fun with sweet and chewy texture.
All around #Australia bees are busy visiting flowers to collect nectar and pollen. Honeybees have very good sense of smell to discern between different fragrance of the flowers, and to tell other bees the types of flowers that have been chosen. There are more floral sources ideal for honey making in Australia than any other country – so we have the widest range of tastes and colours.
Most honey of Australia originates from an amazing variety of native Eucalyptus trees. However,
the best loved Australian honey flavours come from:
#Jarrah – unique to Western Australia, darker in colour and has a distinct bold taste; not overly sweet thanks to lower glucose and higher fructose levels.
#Redgum – a russet coloured honey with a full-bodied fruity flavour and gentle coffee undertones. A firm favourite with West Australians, this versatile honey works well in porridge and smoothies.
#Wandoo – an amber coloured honey with a smooth caramel flavour. This versatile honey can be used anywhere from sweetening drinks to baking.
#Blackbutt – medium to dark coloured honey with a full-bodied flavour, favourite on porridge or in hot drinks.
#Blue gum – light amber, choice forest honey from the south.
#Karri – this exquisite golden honey is collected from the Western Australia forest.
#Leatherwood – unique honey from the west coast of Tasmania, quick to candy and extra light in colour.
#Lucerne – mild-tasting honey.
#Yellow box – pale and sweet honey from New South Wales, Victoria and Queensland.
#Stringy bark – strong flavoured, medium amber honey from the Great Dividing Range.
#Tea tree – very strong flavoured honey used mainly in manufacturing, from the north and south.
White clover – extra white honey that candies smoothly.
#Wildflower – spring in a tub! A medium-coloured honey that is mild tasting but bursting with floral flavours. Often used as a sweetener in drinks and raw desserts.
