Mountain Beech Honey is a rare, raw honeydew honey harvested from the alpine Black Beech forests of New Zealand. Unlike floral honeys, this unique variety is produced from sweet dewdrops secreted by tiny insects and collected by bees—resulting in a rich, forest-sourced nectar known as Honeydew Honey.

Dark, runny, and velvet-smooth, Mountain Beech Honey offers a bold, earthy taste layered with hints of wild berries, caramel, and honeysuckle. Its fresh mountain aroma and deep amber colour reflect the purity of its remote alpine origin.

Cold-extracted and never heat-treated, our Mountain Beech Honey is bursting with naturally occurring oligosaccharides—prebiotic compounds that support digestive health. It’s a favourite among those seeking raw, nourishing honey that’s kind on the tummy and perfect for children over 12 months.

Enjoy Mountain Beech Honey drizzled over pancakes, waffles, or cereal. Melt it over vanilla ice cream, pair it with cheese and fruit platters, or use as a light glaze for meats and vegetables. Whether spread on toast or savoured by the spoonful, this honey is gourmet indulgence straight from nature.

Collected only in special flowering years, Mountain Beech Honey is produced in small batches using sustainable methods. Revered in Germany and backed by scientific research for its high antioxidant and antibacterial properties, this honeydew variety is one of New Zealand’s finest exports.

Experience the forest in a jar with Mountain Beech Honey—a true alpine treasure crafted by bees, elevated by nature, and beloved around the world.

Delicious and healing in my favourite lemon, ginger root and honey drinks to soothe a sore throat and also on a piece of toast or on a crumpet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our products

Also called honeydew honey or Beech Forest honey, our Mountain Beech Honey is made not from flowers, but from the sap of native beech trees. Bees collect the sweet dew excreted by tiny scale insects — a rare alpine delicacy.

es — while not rated by MGO, Beech Honey is rich in oligosaccharides and antioxidants, giving it mild antibacterial and prebiotic qualities. It’s a gentle immune support option. Scientific testing conducted by Massey University even suggests Mountain Beech honey is higher in antibacterial than Manuka honey!

The deep colour and bold taste come from its high mineral content and forest origin. Its richness reflects the untouched New Zealand wilderness where it’s harvested.

It has a lower glucose content and higher antioxidant levels than floral honeys, making it a better choice for those watching their sugar intake — but always consult your doctor first.

Our bees collect beech honeydew from high alpine forests. We never feed them sugar or shift them artificially — each jar captures the unique flavour of untouched mountain ecosystems.
