 Looking for a delicious and flavourful honey? We bring you New Zealand Raw Rata Honey!

Rata Honey comes from native forests specifically the Southern Rata Tree on the West Coast of South Island which has beautiful large red flowers that are similar to Pohutukawa or the New Zealand Christmas tree. The tree only flowers occasionally so pure rata honey is rare and very special. 

 Raw honey has been processed less than conventional honeys. It is light in colour with a delicate, floral taste making it a real favourite with many honey enthusiasts. It has undergone less processing and has not been stirred for long periods or heated above normal hive temperature making it higher in healthy enzymes thus retaining more nutrients and keeping a distinctive flavour. Research shows it has more than double amount of healthy enzymes compared to conventionally processed honeys.

However, it can only be found in the remote native forests on the West Coast of the South Island, making it difficult to harvest for many beekeepers. The honey is also raw, meaning it has undergone less processing. This leads to higher content of healthy enzymes while retaining a distinctive flavor that you can only get with Rata Honey.

Here are just a few reasons why Rata Honey is so special:

Our Rata Honey is 100% Raw

Raw honey has been processed less than conventional honeys. This means it has not been stirred for long periods or heated above normal bee hive temperatures (approximately 35 degrees celsius). This helps the honey retain more micronutrients! INdependent research shows that our Rata Honey has more than double the amount of healthy enzymes than conventionally processed honey.

Single Source

Single source honey is plain and simple: it only comes from only one site and is not blended with honey from other locations like most commercial honey. This is unique and results in more distinctive flavors based on the properties of the specific location. Choosing single source Rata Honey means you’re getting one of the most unique honeys around without any additives or alterations.
