Product Information
Unlike our other honeys, Beech Honey (also known as Honeydew or Forest Dew Honey) is collected from Black Beech trees, located in the Alpine forest of the South Island of New Zealand. This honey is uniquely made, firstly small insects deep within the beech forest produce sticky liquid collected on Black Beech trees. Honeybees then search these remote forests for the New Zealand native tree and collect its nectar.

What is honeydew honey?
Honeydew honey is made not from flowers but from nectar-like sap collected from native New Zealand beech forests. It’s dark, rich, and high in natural antioxidants. Its unique origin makes it highly desirable for private label honey brands and international distributors.
What does honeydew honey taste like?
Honeydew honey has a bold, malty, slightly mineral taste with subtle caramel notes. It’s less sweet than floral honey and pairs well with cheeses and wholegrain breads. Its distinctive flavour is popular in premium private label honey collections.
What are the benefits of honeydew honey?
Honeydew honey is naturally rich in antioxidants, minerals, and oligosaccharides, making it great for gut health and overall wellness. These functional benefits also make it a strong performer for wellness-focused private label honey brands in global markets.
