The Leatherwood tree, Eucryphia Lucinda, blooms annually for a short time with an abundance of extremely delicate white flowers with a piquant scent.

The plants are normally hidden deep within the forest and can be difficult to access. This honey is very smooth on the palette and the flavour is fresh and clean. It also has lightly spicy notes and is a very pleasurable honey to eat.

And its low glycemic rating makes it a diabetic-friendly sweetener. Being a raw honey, it may crystallise, this is a natural characteristic of raw, natural, organic honey.
