Tasting Notes & Vintage
Harvested in 2011
NZ Artisan Manuka Honey active 15+ is dark amber in colour. It is a complex, intense and chewy honey with rich toffee and caramel flavours and coconut, woody, nutty notes. This honey has a slightly bitter lingering finish and a very smooth pleasant texture. It is a perfect ingredient for dressings and marinades or use as a glaze for strong fish such as salmon cooked on the grill or barbecue. It is also delicious as a sweetener in citrus drinks such as fresh lemonade or combined with creamy natural or Greek yoghurt.
