What's so good about Honey Dew honey?

Rod from Hive World Honey

We find our customers are very conservative about the honey they buy.
We would like to educate you on New Zealand's finest honey varieties. This week we feature HONEY DEW.

• A truly organic honey

This is because honeydew is not collected from flowers but produced by aphids in the Beech forests of the South Island of New Zealand. The honeydew is then collected by bees and stored as honey.

• Contains high levels of Oligosaccharides.

This is a powerful prebiotic that supports and promotes beneficial gut bacteria. Typically, honeydew has a lower level of glucose and fructose and higher levels of complex sugars. Honeydew contains higher levels of anti-oxidants and minerals than floral honeys.

• Provides perfect complement to strong flavours.

Honeydew adds a flavour kick to muesli, cereal and smoothies. Goes marvelously with pears, apples and blue cheese.

• Perfect for drizzling.

This rich dark malt-flavoured honey does not crystallize so will stay runny to the end of the jar.

• Hidden treasure:

Honeydew is the most under-rated honey in New Zealand. It is one of our premium export honeys. It is a very popular honey in Europe, the best known is honeydew from the Black Forest in Germany. It is also known as Pine Honey.
