Product Description

Description

The bark of the Spotted Gum tree from the NSW South Coast Region sheds in summer, revealing a smooth creamy colour, mottled with grey spots.

Our bees are attracted to its fragrant white flowers in spring, giving a rich flavoured organic honey for fermentation.

The result is a mead with an alluring citrus caramel flavour, as beautiful, complex and interesting as the bark from the tree.

Great with dessert or served on its own as a digestif!

– Awarded BEST Traditional Mead at the 2021 Red Hill Mead Awards!
– Awarded GOLD at the 2021 Royal Tasmanian Fine Food Awards!
