Old-Growth Harvest Jarrah Honey
300Y+ FAR
Our Old-Growth Harvest Jarrah Honey is some of the rarest honey on earth.
Flora
Eucalyptus marginata
Recognised by its Aboriginal name, Jarrah trees exhibit a remarkably slow growth rate and are exclusive to the native forests in the southwestern region of Western Australia. The venerable Jarrah trees, aged over 300 years, thrive on protected land in Lane Poole and produce an exceptionally pure honey.
Extracting nectar from these ancient trees requires robust and healthy bee colonies, as the fragile nectar flow can be instantly halted by a mere heatwave due to the limited amounts in the blossoms. This precarious nature of the flowering season makes Jarrah honey an exceptionally rare treasure - some of the rarest honey in the world.
