• Powerful anti-oxidant properties.
The anti-oxidants in thyme honey are defensive. This means they bind damaging oxidants preventing them from developing into free radicals and causing cell damage. Thyme honey is one of the richest sources of these anti-oxidants.
• Probably New Zealand’s strongest flavoured honey.
A wonderful gourmet treat, a little goes a long way – delicious on french toast and crepes. Ideal for pairing with salty cheese or in savoury marinades. Try it as a glaze on your favourite lamb dish.
• Anti-inflammatory.
Effective at fighting inflammation all over the body due to the high concentration of thymol. If you have a sore throat, try the soothing comfort of a cup of Thyme Honey tea.
• Cough suppressant.
Great for nagging coughs, useful to keep on hand to use as a mucus suppressant.
• Healing properties.
Helps reduce swelling and inflammation on areas of the skin that have been damaged.

Originated in Greece and the countries around the Mediterranean and referenced in many classical texts.
