Mossop's Rewarewa Honey
New Zealand rewarewa honey from Mossop's Honey, Bay of Plenty and Waikato, in a 2.5 kg pail.
Rewarewa Honey from Mossop's Honey comes from the blossom of rewarewa, a tree found only in New Zealand and known locally as the New Zealand honeysuckle. The Mossop's family business has kept bees since 1947 in the Bay of Plenty on the North Island. The producer says this honey is gathered from the bushy hills and valleys of the Bay of Plenty and Waikato regions. Mossop's describes its colour as deep reddish and its flavour as caramel-like. On the brand's site rewarewa is sold in a 2.5 kg plastic pail with a blue lid; the label shows rewarewa flowers and the words Product of New Zealand.
Why this matters to you: rewarewa grows only in New Zealand, so this is a way to taste a native bush honey other than manuka.
