Red Stringybark
Flavours: An incredibly rare honey sourced from honeyflows that come from flowers that emerge once every decade or two. Contains around half post brood combs and half virgin combs. More lemon myrtle and ginger to taste with distinct floral lift, some exotic spice, lots of caramel and toffee, almost rose hip tea-like characters, sweet but with that similar earthiness of the bouquet. Texture is amazing, concentrated, palate-staining and lifted with a barely-there pepperiness and again, that burr of granular chomp that feels almost suede. It feels nourishing and wildly delicious, something to be scoffed off your tablespoons.
Colour: Bronzed-gold
Texture: Almost chewy, with soft fudge-like texture yet a faint grainy smudge through it all
Aromas: Lemon myrtle, ginger, wattle seed, dried honeycomb and faint, sweet-earthiness
Red Bloodwood
An incredibly complex and compelling honey, indeed, one of the most detailed, intriguing and distinct tasting yet. The texture is magnificent, rich, creamy and sticky with a trail of pleasing, lightly silty grip through the ultra-lingering finish. Flavours are lush and luxurious, deep and satisfying, warming almost and, importantly, distinctly nutty-savoury under the caramel and sweet/dried citrus primary flavours. A wealth of indulgent pleasure here. A ‘wow’ honey of highest calibre.
Colour: Medium-gold, hazy-cloudy, flecked
Texture: Ultra creamy/sticky textured, silty finish
Aromas: Toffee, warmed hazelnuts, sandalwood, dried roses, sugared almonds, eucalyptus
Flavours: Crème caramel, almond, candied orange, ginger, toasted hazelnuts, cinnamon

Storage Instructions and Important Information
Store in a cool, dry and dark place. Best temperature range for storage and serving is between 15 and 25°C.
Our Wild Honey is bottled in glass jars and all orders are sent with Australia Post's ‘special wine order - fragile’ tape attached, which notifies Australia Post employees to carefully handle the parcel. We also take great care in packaging the product securely for transit.
Wild honeys from Warré hives contain bee bread (pollen fermented by beneficial bacteria) and propolis showing proven antioxidant and medicinal activity. In extremely rare cases, pollen can cause allergic reactions.
Our Wild Honey and Wild Honeycomb is naturally gluten free. It contains no wheat, barley, rye or oats or their by-products. Malfroy’s Gold facilities do not process or store anything containing gluten - we only extract and pack our own bee produce onsite.
Please note: As our honey is seasonal, wild, harvested from small apiaries, and bottled in micro batches, natural variation in colour, texture and pollen richness will occur from batch to batch. The honey you receive may be a slightly different colour from that pictured above but rest assured it is the same variety. We do not overheat, filter or homogenise our honey to make every jar uniform in colour and texture as that damages the nutritional integrity of the honey. The honey also naturally varies in colour over time inside the jar as it is a living product - this ongoing process will not negatively affect the wild honey’s taste or nutritional integrity.
