New Zealand Premium Honey Gift Pack (Green)
This special gift pack contains three different kinds of honey at half the size of the regular honey, and makes a great gift or sample size. This GREEN gift pack contains:
RATA - Southern Rata is one of several species of Rata found in New Zealand but is the one that most regularly produces a honey crop, although even this honey is sometimes in very short supply. Anyone who has seen the Rata flowering in January in the Otira Gorge west of Christchurch cannot forget the sight of this brilliant red carpet covering the mountains. This area produces the purest Rata honey, very white in colour with a subtle, distinctive flavor, mild and rich - but not sweet, almost salty, considered by many to be the most unique of all honey.
KAMAHI - Found in many of New Zealand's rugged native forests, the kamahi flower is an excellent source of honey; they bloom in abundance throughout the Spring, producing a light amber honey with a distinct, full bodied complexity of flavor. The taste, which is wonderful and smooth, is perfect for cooking and baking; indeed, it is used by many of Europe's top chefs.
TAWARI - The "Beaujolais" of honey, Tawari is best savored when young. It's origins are the lowland forests of New Zealand's far north where the elegant tree's waxy white flowers, prized by the ancient Maori, gift the bees a light yellow nectar with a lingering butterscotch flavor. So subtle and mild, it's perfect for topping pancakes, waffles or ice cream.
