Mountain Eucalypt - Batch 319

 Mountain Eucalypt is a seasonal blend of pure Australian honey. Floral varieties include Grey Iron Barks, Brush Box, Grey Gums and Yellow Stringy Barks. This honey is mostly medium amber in colour and of medium density. It is especially sweet and full of flavour.......one of our favourites!

Mountain Eucalypt Honey is typically sweet with a truly delicious flavour and beautiful aroma. Gathered in the mid to late spring time, this honey is one of our sweetest and most delicious varieties, and a beekeepers favourite!

 Due to the delicious taste and sweetness of this honey, it is an excellent sweetener in hot drinks, is great on breakfast pancakes, perfect drizzled over muesli or porridge and delicious as a topping on vanilla icecream. How about trying it drizzled over salted cashew nuts? Perfect!

These trees provide a yield most years, but the areas within the forests will change depending on the location of the summer rainfall. This means we will sometimes see a strip through the forest some years which yields more honey than other areas. This is because a thunder storm has dropped rain across this strip as it has passed through many months before. Time since the last harvest from this area was 12 months.

This spring to early summer harvest  and the conditions for this batch, were the typical warmer sunny days with some thundery showers. The increasing humidity speeds the flowering and nectar flows.
