Stephens Golden Nectar Leatherwood Honey 500g","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the world's rarest honeys, from the Tasmanian wilderness. Leatherwood honey comes from the leatherwood tree, which grows wild only in the cool, ancient rainforests of western Tasmania — nowhere else on earth. It has a bold, almost floral-spicy flavor and a distinctive fragrance that honey lovers seek out worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eR. Stephens is Tasmania's oldest and largest leatherwood producer, started by Robert Stephens in 1920 and still based at Mole Creek. The hives sit deep in remote, unfarmed forest, which is exactly why this honey is certified organic. It's raw — untreated and unpasteurized — and bottled in a reusable glass jar. This is the 500g jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy people buy it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Tasmanian leatherwood — one of the world's rarest honeys\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBold, distinctive flavor and fragrance found in no other honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertified organic, raw, untreated and unpasteurized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrom R.

It's intense and aromatic — floral and slightly spicy, with a lingering perfume. People who find ordinary honey forgettable tend to fall for it; it stands up to strong cheese, sourdough, oatmeal and black tea where a lighter honey would disappear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to use \u0026amp; store\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eUse it as you would any honey — on toast, in tea (warm, not boiling, to keep the raw character), over yogurt, or straight off the spoon. Keep it in a cool, dry cupboard, not the fridge. Like all raw honey it may crystallize over time, which is natural — stand the jar in warm water and stir to bring it back. Never give honey to a baby under 12 months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: 100% Tasmanian leatherwood honey\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 500g glass jar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCertification: Certified organic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProcessing: Raw, untreated, unpasteurized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProducer: R.
