If you’ve ever wanted a honey that’s rich enough to impress but mellow enough for everyday use, KiwiCoast Mānuka Blend is the answer. It’s a delightful marriage of Mānuka and other native blossoms, giving you that gentle, earthy depth without overwhelming your tastebuds.

This one’s a Bronze winner at the NZ Outstanding Food Awards—so you know it’s top notch.KiwiCoast Honey hails from Katikati (just up the road from your avos), but their bees are busy across the Lower North Island—so I reckon it qualifies as “local” no matter where you are.

Mark and Sheree—good friends of mine and true honey enthusiasts—pour their heart into every batch. I’ve been scooping their honey out of 5kg buckets for years, and it’s honestly some of the best creamed honey I’ve tasted (and I’ve tasted a lot).

A quick heads-up: Mark and Sheree are shifting to bigger jars and buckets, so they’ve got 500 jars of each variety they need to clear before October. I couldn’t help but jump in to lend a hand (and fill my cupboard at the same time). I’ve taken the rest of their jars of each to share with you at a cracking price.

One little thing: every honey jar in NZ has to have a “Best Before” date by law, but honey is basically immortal. If it ever sets or crystallises, just warm it gently and it’ll be good as new.

Don’t let the date worry you—this honey will keep you happy for ages.

Perfect for: Sweetening tea, spreading on toast, baking, or just sneaking a spoonful straight from the jar (go on, I won’t judge).

Stock is limited—once it’s gone, it’s gone! Grab a jar and taste why I rave about this honey.
