Kangaroo Island is the oldest bee sanctuary in the world. Ligurian bees were brought to the island from Italy in 1884, and was declared a sanctuary in 1885. The bees were selected because of their mild temperament, gentleness and productivity. As Kangaroo Island is 13 kilometres off the coast of mainland Australia they have been protected from disease and breeding with other races of honey bee, as a consequence the Kangaroo Island Ligurian Bee is the purest strain of Ligurian bee remaining in the world.
Premium Raw Honey: is unfiltered, and undergoes minimal processing to retain all the natural health benefits of pure honey. Raw honey contains various vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and enzymes, the health benefits these provide may be reduced if the honey is heated and filtered.
Pink Gum Honey: Pink Gum is endemic to South Australia, and is now a threatened flora species. Smooth, caramel buttered popcorn flavours with a soft, umami finish. A clean, savoury finish is true to the Eucalyptus characteristics this honey represents. Pink Gum honey is great for adding to warm or cold drinks or an accompaniment for cheese boards. Delicate, but complex enough to pair with Burrata or Camembert.
