A warm slice of toast. A bowl of yoghurt and fresh fruit. A cheeseboard shared with friends. Sometimes, a spoonful of something distinctive is all it takes to make an everyday moment feel a little more special.
Mountain Gold Thyme Honey brings a delicate floral aroma, smooth texture and gentle sweetness to the table, with subtle herbal and spicy notes. Sourced from New Zealand’s South Island, it’s a honey worth getting to know, one delicious pairing at a time.
Wondering where to start? Here are five easy ways to enjoy it.
- Make your morning toast something to look forward to
Spread a little butter over warm toast or fresh bread, then finish with a drizzle of Thyme Honey. Keeping the pairing simple lets you enjoy the honey’s distinctive floral and herbal character.
For your first taste, try a small spoonful on its own before adding it to breakfast. Notice the aroma, texture and sweetness, then see how the flavour changes alongside the bread.
- Add a finishing touch to yoghurt and fruit
Spoon natural yoghurt into a bowl, add your favourite fresh fruit and finish with Thyme Honey. It’s an easy breakfast or afternoon snack that gives the honey room to shine.
Start with a small drizzle and add more to suit your taste. The pleasure is in finding your own balance of creamy yoghurt, fruit and gentle sweetness.
- Bring something different to the cheeseboard
Put a small dish of Thyme Honey beside your cheese and crackers and let everyone try their own combinations. Its subtle herbal and spicy notes offer something a little different from sweetness alone.
You don’t need an elaborate spread. A few favourite cheeses, crackers and a jar of honey are an inviting place to begin.
- Give porridge a new favourite topping
Finish a bowl of warm porridge with a spoonful of Thyme Honey. Add fruit or your usual toppings, or keep it simple and enjoy the honey’s flavour against the oats.
It’s a small change to a familiar breakfast, and an easy way to discover whether Thyme Honey deserves a regular spot in your pantry.
- Sweeten your afternoon pause
Stir a little Thyme Honey into your favourite tea or hot drink. Start with less than you think you need, taste, and adjust until it’s just right for you.
Prefer something to nibble on? Try it drizzled over fresh bread alongside your drink instead.
New Zealand honey, with a distinctive story
Thyme Honey is the first release in our new Mountain Gold range celebrating distinctive New Zealand honeys from non-native flowering plants. Bees gather nectar from thyme blossoms growing in the South Island. The floral source is introduced, but the honey is 100% New Zealand.
Each honey in the range features a New Zealand bird. Our first release features the kea, giving Thyme Honey its own identity at the beginning of this collection.
Which jar will you start with?
Our Thyme Honey comes in 110g, 250g and 500g jars. Choose 110g if you’d like to start with a taste, or a larger jar if you already have a few favourite pairings in mind.
Whether you’re looking for something new for breakfast, a cheeseboard addition or a thoughtful treat for a honey lover, this is a delicious place to begin.
