Arataki Rata Honey
Pale creamed rata honey from New Zealand by Arataki Honey, in a 500 g jar.
Rata is a towering native New Zealand tree with intensely red flowers, and its nectar gives Arataki a very light-coloured honey. The producer describes the taste as both mild and rich, not overly sweet, and memorably distinct. Its texture is creamed, dense yet soft, so it spreads easily with a knife. On the shelf, a pink ribbon around the 500 g tub gives it away. Arataki says nothing but New Zealand honey goes into the tub.
Why this matters to you: rata suits anyone looking for a pale honey with restrained sweetness.
