By Mountain Gold Honey

Experience the delicate sweetness and rich natural heritage of Mountain Gold Tāwari Honey, a rare and highly prized native New Zealand honey harvested from the northern forests of the North Island.

Character & Flavour

Tāwari honey is light in colour with a smooth, buttery texture and a subtle butterscotch-like sweetness. Its flavour is gentle yet distinctive, making it perfect for:

  • Adding to breakfast spreads or teas

  • Baking and desserts

  • Enhancing gourmet sauces and dressings

Our Tāwari Honey is award-winning, having received the People’s Choice Award at the New Zealand National Apiculture Conference in 2023, a testament to its exceptional quality and taste.

The Tāwari Tree (Ixerba brexioides)

Tāwari is a native evergreen tree found predominantly in the northern half of New Zealand’s North Island. It has bushy growth, thick narrow serrated leaves, and panicles of small white flowers with a green heart. Flower buds form in March–April and bloom from October to the end of December, providing an abundant nectar source for our bees.

Historically, Māori used Tāwari flowers for necklaces and adornments during celebrations, highlighting its cultural significance.
