Golden Nectar Organic Leatherwood Honey by R. Stephens – 500g Jar – Product of Tasmania, Australia

Love the taste! Diffenately will buy again!

I have been using Tasmanian Leatherwood honey for at least 20 years and I always carried it in my health food store for that amount of time. It has certainly been my favourite gourmet honey because of the beautiful flowery perfumed taste. I have bought from the Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey Company all these years, and generally buy their largest tin. Alas they were out of stock on Amazon this time so I decided to look around and found Golden Nectar honey by R. Stephens. I was a little wary at first, but decided to go for it for two reasons: one it is a little less expensive than the other honey unit for unit, and two it is Organic! I love to support organic famers and do whenever I can. My guess is that the Tasmanian Honey company's honey is also organic but they don't state it on the tin. The bottom line is that R. Stephens Golden Nectar is every bit as lovely and as perfumed to taste as the other, and it has a delightful unctuous mouthfeel. I am using it and enjoying very much. Thank you. A++++

This exotic honey must be tasted to appreciate it's unique flavor. From a Tasmania Parks website: "The leatherwood is well known in Tasmania for the distinctive tasting honey produced from its nectar, a lovely yellow, gummy substance collected from the white flowers. During the warmer months of December and January, the four-pet​alled, 3cm diameter flowers can cover​ the whole tree in a white cloak." I have not tasted an American honey as distinctive. This will lend itself to honey tasting and a small amount goes a long way. Try in herbal teas, mixed with real salted butter on fresh hot scones.

This honey is uniquely delicious! It's fragrant and at first taste it's sweet and floral, and then it mellows into a purple grape flavour that's quite amazing. Tastes amazing in tea! I will definitely buy this again.

Very interesting varietal, not going to be for everyone. It tastes almost medicinal, but not in a bad way.

I was pleasantly surprised consuming this flavorful honey for the first time. My wife used a heaping tablespoon on each serving of our morning traditional organic oatmeal. What a great taste! The taste is a very pleasant sage flavor. I have tried some other brands who advertise a sage like taste experience, but to my palate they barely or faintly register. After lunch today I tried a tablespoon straight from jar and I am very happily satisfied with the taste. I ordered another jar to save just for the holidays.

Around the top of the leather Wood jar of honey the bubble wrap was full of honey that had leaked out. Is it safe to use?

This honey is exceptional and high quality on all levels
