Blue Mountains Post Brood Polyflora
The full experience. A unique and outstanding expression of honey that finds few peers. Incredibly intense, raw feeling, creamy yet with light tannin grip and pucker. Generous scents and flavours of ripe fruits, caramels and baking spices. Glorious, complex expression.
Colour: Bronze amber, hazy-cloudy
Texture: Creamy, rich, lightly silty (pollen and propolis)
Aromas: ‘Aussie bush’ of paperbark, dried flowers, sweet earth, wild honeycomb, with ripe stone fruit, dried citrus and garam masala spice
Flavours: Dried stone fruits, arrowroot biscuit (sweet/savoury yeast/bread characters), maple syrup, choc-orange, brown sugar, alpine herbs
Yellow Box
A complex and immensely satisfying honey with bold aromas and concentrated flavours. Dense, rich and generous, this is a hedonistic pleasure zone for honey enthusiasts, with pleasingly cloying texture, intensity of perfume and layers of texture. It finishes emphatically strong and lingers impressively.
Colour: Rich gold, hazy-cloudy
Texture: Creamy, glossy then silty finish
Aromas: Caramels, brown sugar, cinnamon, paperbark tree bark, sandalwood
Flavours: Crème brulee, preserved lemon, ginger, halva and candied citrus characters
Blue Mountains Polyflora (2023 Vintage)
Flavours: The new vintage of this seasonal wildflower honey heralds in a lifted, floral element, Anzac biscuit sweet-savoury-salty notes, Jaffa sweets, raw sugar and eucalyptus lift with some faint bush pepper characters, and a bergamot tea-like finish amongst caramel sweetness. Rich, round, rollicking and exuberant yet definitively complex and layered in its elements. There’s intensity here but also gulpability! It feels distinctly nutritional and wildly delicious.
Colour: Pale golden-amber, pleasingly cloudy and faintly speckled
Texture: A delightful gummy pucker after each mouthful, but mostly seamless and smooth, despite fine granular elements
Aromas: Dried apricot, Paperbark tree bark, orange blossom, molasses, wet slate, woody spices
Blue Mountains Polyflora (2022 Vintage - Sold Out)
A come-hither style honey that is evocative of place, with a coolness, floral lift and sense of ‘Aussie bush’ amongst its richer, sweeter elements. A softness in some regards, but detail in the flavours, with potent, lifted spice notes a feature. The fragrance is gentle but invites you in with sweet, candied characters and its lift of floral and alpine herbs. Such a complete honey and ultimately ‘high eatability’ in its feel.
Colour: Fudge golden
Texture: Supple, waxy and ultra-mouth-coating
Aromas: Sandalwood, alpine herbs, lemon-ginger tea, paperbark tree bark
Flavours: Lemon-ginger with a lift of piquancy, cinnamon spice, light caramel and white chocolate is strong from mid-palate through the finish
Blue Mountains Polyflora (2020 Vintage - Sold Out)
Feels regal and very rich but the ‘eatability’ of this honey is extraordinarily high. An almost medicinal character here, but the main qualification of this honey is incredible texture and mouth-coating generosity all the while retaining a sense of freshness and lift. More subtle, savoury aromas, flavours make a big impact and linger emphatically.
Colour: Vintage gold, thick-cloudy
Texture: Dense, slippery, velvety, sticky
Aromas: Honeysuckle florals, lemon blossom, crushed eucalyptus leaf, stewed apple
Flavours: Preserved lemon, white chocolate, Parisian almonds, mint, alpine herbs and finishes with toffee-like flavours
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

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.
