Mountain Meadow Polyflora (2025 Vintage)
Flavours: Dried citrus, woody spices, lanolin, caramel biscuits, sugared arrowroot biscuits, glazed nuts. Sweet, pretty, textural. There’s a delicacy to the flavour profile and overall experience, though that is countered by the ‘spoon-stands-up-in-this’ richness to texture. There’s a botanical and almost ‘good medicine’ feel to this honey. To be eaten from the jar.
Colour: Golden sandy colour, tiny brown flecks
Texture: Rich treacle. Creamy. Granular.
Aromas:Dried tropical fruits, ginger, lemon myrtle, strawberry gum, highly botanical, alpine flowers, paperbark
Mountain Meadow Polyflora (2021 Vintage - Sold Out)
An amazing honey, packed with character, emphatically distinct, delicious in every sense yet somewhat other-worldly in its Australian botanical/flora-laden personality. A benchmark release. So fragrant, so much detail in flavour, thick-set texture and almost best eaten off a small spoon than used in more conventional manners!
Colour: Blonde, hazy-cloudy
Texture: Firm butter-like texture
Aromas: Subtle, delicate aromas of alpine flowers and botanicals, pot pourri, juniper, chamomile and faint caramel
Flavours: Lemon myrtle, chamomile, light toffee, green mango, cinnamon, wattleseed nuttiness

This pure Australian wild honey is produced from 100% natural comb in bee-friendly Warré apiaries in the high altitude woodlands of the Central Tablelands, NSW. It is a unique Wild honey that contrasts nicely with the other Wild honeys in our range.
In the lead up to the bee season of 2024/25, the Central Tablelands had suffered through drought, prolonging the growth and budding of Eucalypt tree species (most honeys in Australia are dominated by the ubiquitous flowering Eucalypts).
The drought finally broke and the rains that fell on parched ground triggered a spontaneous flowering of ground flora species that are rarely seen. In contrast, the high rainfall resulted in the Eucalypts putting all their energies into regrowing leaves after the stress of the drought, rather than flowering.
Therefore, this honey can be described as a ‘La Niña’ honey - a result of this weather event that occurs once every 10 years or so. The bold characters of our other Wild Honeys are not as present here, instead this is an ethereal honey with subtle herbal notes, a malty character and a creamy fudge-like texture that perfectly captures time and place.

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.
