| MALFROY'S GOLD - PURE VARIETAL HONEY Malfroy’s Gold award-winning honey is available in a number of seasonal varieties. 0 These premium and rare varieties are a reflection of the region in which our bees are located and the diverse Australian flora from which the honey is produced. 0 Malfroy’s Gold honey has a superior flavour, texture and aroma to most commercially available honeys as we do not heat, blend or micro-filter the honey in the extraction or packaging process. Our honey remains as nature intended it to be, fresh from our own beehives, and complete with naturally occurring minerals, enzymes and pollens. 0 Please visit WILD HONEY and NATURAL BEEKEEPING for an insight into how our honey is produced. Please see below for the flavour profiles of each honey variety and available sizes. 0 Malfroy’s Gold honey is available at select Retail Outlets throughout Australia, please visit WHERE TO BUY for details. |

| Yellow Box Eucalyptus melliodora | ||||
  |
  |
  |
A famous tree of the grassy woodlands, this Eucalypt yields her sweet, light, aromatic nectar every 2-4 years over the hot summer months. Our Yellow Box honey is produced in the Central Tablelands of NSW, at altitudes of 700 – 1000m. When in the height of bloom, the Great Eastern Ranges are alive with her floral, aromatic perfume. In pure form, this is a delicate liquid honey with a hay yellow colour, full body, characteristic sweet floral flavour and lingering clean high notes. Yellow Box also has the lowest GI rating of any Australian honey (35). A classic Australian honey. Also available in 300g rounds of pure Honeycomb |

| Wollemi Wilderness Rare Variety - A perfect gift or hamper item | ||||
|
 Limited to 10,000 jars, only 4,000 left! |
 |
In Spring of 2008, the diverse flora of the Wollemi Wilderness erupted in showy blooms, enticing our bees to collect the rich nectar. The resulting honey is a rare natural blend, unlikely to be captured again for decades. |
|
 |
The body of this honey is dominated by the sweet, light nectar gathered from the Northern Grey Ironbark Eucalyptus siderophloia that grows in isolated valleys of the Wollemi. |
|||
 |
 |
The Pink Tea Tree Leptospermum parvifolium lends this honey its subtle bitter notes and distinctive floral aroma. The rare honey produced is a testament to the region’s unique flora and pristine environment. The Wollemi Wilderness is part of the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area, and is the largest Wilderness area in NSW. |

| Available in 150g square glass jars with attractive storybook fold out label. |
||||
| Red Stringybark Eucalyptus macrorhynncha | ||||
 |
 |
 Pure Red Stringybark honey is quite rare, as the tree only flowers and yields honey every 4-8 years. |
Only every 4-8 years will this tree flower, enlivening our bees to collect her rich, amber nectar during autumn. Growing on elevated hills of the Grassy Woodlands, the honey produced is one of the finest in Australia. Our Red Stringybark honey is collected from the Central Tablelands region, at altitudes of 800-1100m. A true rarity, this honey has a deep bright amber colour, and a rich, bold, toffee-like flavour with smoky, earthy undertones. Pure Red Stringybark honey never crystallises, is exceptionally high in mineral content, and has the second lowest GI rating of any Australian honey (44). In our opinion this is one of the finest varieties of honey in the world. (See available sizes below) |
