Things You Might Like To Know
How to use Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey?
Leatherwood honey is incredibly versatile, bridging the gap between a gourmet ingredient and a daily wellness staple.
For Wellness: Enjoy a raw teaspoon straight from the jar each morning to support your routine with its inherent bioactive and therapeutic properties, or stir it into lukewarm water with lemon to soothe the throat.
For Pairings: Its slightly spicy flavour profile makes it the ultimate match for strong cheeses like blue or brie. It is also exceptional drizzled over fresh sourdough, baked into rich desserts, or used as a spectacular glaze for hot, freshly baked pastries.
Use in Hot Beverages (For Flavour Only): Stirring Leatherwood into piping hot Earl Grey or Chai unlocks an extraordinary flavour experience. The heat releases the honey's native oils, delivering an intricate, intensely floral, and gently spicy flavour experience. When steeped in hot water, its distinct balsamic undertones enhance the vibrant, citrusy essence of bergamot. When paired with chai, its deep, warming sweetness acts as a natural harmoniser, mellowing out bold spices like cardamom, cinnamon, and clove. (Please note: while the flavour remains incredible, exposing raw honey to boiling water or high baking temperatures will degrade its delicate, naturally occurring therapeutic properties).
What makes Leatherwood different from Manuka honey?
It isn't necessarily about one being "better," but about choosing the right profile for your needs. While Manuka is widely marketed for specific antibacterial compounds, many find its flavour quite bitter and earthy. Tasmanian Leatherwood offers an award-winning epicurean experience alongside its own rich bioactive properties. With Leatherwood, you get a premium therapeutic honey that actually tastes incredible.
How should I store my raw honey?
To preserve its natural enzymes and benefits, store your raw Leatherwood honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight (like in a pantry). Because our honey is 100% natural and minimally processed, it may crystallise over time. This is a mark of true quality! If you prefer a liquid consistency, place the glass jar in a bowl of warm water until it gently softens. Never microwave raw honey.
Is raw Leatherwood honey safe for my family?
Absolutely. Our raw Leatherwood honey is a wholesome, unprocessed food that makes a wonderful natural alternative to refined sugars. However, please note a standard safety guideline: raw honey of any kind should never be given to infants under 12 months of age, as their developing digestive systems are not yet ready for the beneficial spores found in raw honey.
