Craftsmen of Honey
Our master creamers are craftsmen of honey, creating honey creamer that fosters an excellent product with superior taste, texture, viscosity and crystal size. Every batch is crafted to meet our incredibly high-quality standards that are then independently verified by accredited New Zealand laboratories.
Manuka Honey Origin
In late spring to early summer, the Mānuka tree is covered in masses of flowers. The bee visits this flower to collect the pollen and begins the production of the iconic honey. Once the pollen and nectar are collected, worker bees fly back to the hive, depositing their gatherings into honeycombs. Lastly, our specialised field trucks can relocate hives and transport them back to our honey extraction facility for rigorous harvesting and testing.
Our dedicated team will help develop your private label brand and ensure it meets the highest quality standards. We offer you a customised total honey solution for your brand.
