Beechworth Bee Delicate Ironbark Honey
Single varietal honey from ironbark eucalypts by Beechworth Honey, extra light to pale amber, in a 350 g jar or 1.5 kg tub.
Ironbark is a group name for several eucalypt species in the Myrtaceae family with deeply furrowed dark grey bark, and from them Beechworth Honey takes its Bee Delicate Ironbark Honey. The company calls it one of the most popular honeys in its Single Varietal Honey line. In the producer's words the colour runs from extra light to pale amber, the honey is delicate and very sweet with aromas of fresh beeswax, and its flavours are buttery and creamy with very little aftertaste. It is a liquid honey that can crystallise quickly. Beekeepers watch for ironbarks to flower in autumn or winter. Sizes: 350 g jar or 1.5 kg tub, 100% Australian honey.
Why this matters to you: if a lingering aftertaste puts you off, the creamy Ironbark leaves almost none.
