Description

Kangaroo Island honey is sometimes referred to as Ligurian Bee honey because it is produced by the purest strain of Ligurian bees on the planet. It is a unique and highly prized honey produced on Kangaroo Island, Australia. It's special due to several reasons: 

Pure and Unblended
Kangaroo Island honey is renowned for being pure and unblended, meaning it comes from a single source and is not mixed with honey from other regions.

Ligurian Bees
The honey is produced by Ligurian bees, a pure strain of bee native to Italy's Liguria region. These bees were introduced to Kangaroo Island in the 1880s and have thrived in the island's unique ecosystem. Because of the islands remoteness from the mainland there has been no dilution to the purity of the Ligurian strain.

Unique Taste
Kangaroo Island honey has a distinct, complex flavour profile that varies depending on the season and the flowers the bees have visited. It's often described as having notes of bush honey, nectar, and a hint of eucalyptus.

Rarity
Due to its limited production and high demand, Kangaroo Island honey is quite rare and often commands a high price. It's typically only available in specialty locations.

Raw
Like all our honey, our Kangaroo Island Honey is unprocessed and Raw. It is stored below harmful temperatures and in unfiltered to ensure you receive the honey in its natural, most beneficial state.

 
Storage Instructions

Best Before Date:
The 'best before' date on our packaging is a legal requirement. However, when stored correctly in an airtight, food-grade container, honey can last for thousands of years just like the honey found in ancient pyramids that is still edible today.

Crystallization:
It is normal for real honey to crystallize over time. This is a sign of its purity. To return your honey to its liquid state, simply place the sealed jar in a bowl of warm water until the crystals dissolve. We do not recommend using a microwave, as high heat can destroy the honey's natural enzymes and antioxidants.

Storage:
For optimal freshness, store your honey in a cool, dark place like your pantry. Storing it in the fridge can accelerate the natural crystallization process. Our honey is not pasteurized, which means it retains all of its beneficial properties, unlike many supermarket honeys that are heated to prevent crystallization.

FAQs

Is your honey organic ?

Our honey is 100% pure, natural Australian honey with nothing added. It is sourced from ethical and responsible Australian Beekeepers, with hives sited in Australia’s bush, forests, hinterlands, and coastal regions.

Bees can forage up to 5km from their hives in search of the best nectar for their honey. Although our honey is not certified organic, it is as pure, raw, and free from environmental contamination as can be.

Is your honey pasteurised ?

No. AB’s Honey is 100% pure and raw. It is only gently filtered to remove any hive debris, such as wax and flower particles.

Pasteurisation requires heating the honey to high temperatures. This can remove much of the natural goodness. If required, our honey is only ever gently warmed to the temperature of a summer’s day to allow it to flow smoothly into jars and bottles.

When will I recieve my delivery ?

We dispatch orders received by 12pm Queensland time on the same business day. Orders received after this time will be dispatched the next available business day. Our preferred delivery service providers are Australia Post and Aramex Couriers. If you have a preference for Australia Post or Aramex, please let us know in the notes section of the checkout and we will endeavour to accommodate.

Once your order leaves our premises, it is in the hands of the delivery service. Depending upon where you are located, you can expect your parcel to arrive within 2 to 3 business days, or within seven working days to regional areas. During busy periods like Christmas or in times of high demand on the courier/postal services, delays in delivery can occur. Natural disasters, for example flooding or bushfires, may cause delays that are out of our or the couriers’ control.

If you are in a hurry to receive your honey or bee product, we also offer an Express Post delivery service. Please refer to the postage question above for further Express Post information.

How should I store my honey ?

If you have bought real honey from us then the best place to store your honey is in your pantry. Keeping real honey in the fridge can accelerate the process of crystallisation, which you may or may not want.

Australian Beekeeper’s Honey does not undergo any pasteurisation treatment, unlike many of the honey products available at the supermarket. Pasteurisation of honey occurs when honey is heated to a really high temperature. Pasteurised honey doesn’t crystalise in cooler climates or in the fridge but unfortunately pasteurisation also destroys the antioxidants in honey and reduces the honey enzymes.
