Capilano
Also known as: Capilano Honey
Capilano is an Australian honey brand.
Capilano is an Australian honey brand. Capilano was started in 1953 by brothers Tim and Bert Smith to help Australian beekeepers sell their honey. The name recalls the Capilano district near Vancouver, where Tim met his wife; the company now works with more than 600 beekeeping families.
The range includes Capilano Classic (Pure Honey, Creamed Honey), Single Floral Varietal (Yellow Box, Floral Manuka), Specialty Honey (Hot Chilli Honey, Organic Raw Honey), Bioactive Manuka. Capilano Pure Honey is a blend of Australian eucalypt honeys; the single floral line names Yellow Box and Manuka (Leptospermum), and the Bioactive Manuka range shows MGO values as label terms.
Why this matters to you: Capilano states where its honey comes from (Australia); next to the variety name, that is the first line of the label worth reading.
