Honey For Life

Desert Mallee Honey

Mallee Honey 260G

OUR DESERT MALLEE IS THE WINNER OF THE 2024 INTERNATIONAL ARTISAN FLAVOUR AWARDS 🎉🎉🎉

Located in the desert near the country town of Norseman, Western Australia, this honey boasts a unique provenance. Its dry, woody aroma evokes images of hessian coffee sacks, leather, suede boots, and a hint of black pepper.

On the palate, the flavour unfolds with a delightful Jaffa and chocolate orange profile, complemented by subtle hints of rosewater. There’s a juicy, syrupy burst throughout, featuring notes of golden syrup and canned pineapple juice, which culminates in a sparkling, refreshing finish.

The complexity of this honey is striking, with its aroma and flavour presenting a delightful contrast. The dry, dark notes of the aroma catch you off guard, leading to the bright, syrupy flavours of Jaffa, rosewater, golden syrup, and canned pineapple juice. It’s a honey filled with sunshine flavours, offering a taste of warmth and joy.

For pairing ideas, its similarity to the sweet sauce often found on banana fritters at Chinese or Thai restaurants makes it an excellent choice for drizzling over naturally caramelised barbecued fruits like pineapple or banana. Additionally, the refreshing flavour profile lends itself beautifully as a sweetener for iced teas. This honey truly captures the essence of summer.

WHAT ARE THE HEALTH BENEFITS OF HONEY? 

Rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and phenolic acids, honey has natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. A time-tested remedy for all kinds of ailments, studies have shown that honey may help to lower blood pressure, improve heart function and prevent the death of healthy cells.

As our honey is not heated or pasteurised, the active ingredients remain more effective than in processed honey.

DELICIOUS IDEAS FOR PAIRING CHEESE AND HONEY

Now that you know which cheese to pair with our honey, be inspired by some of the delicious ways you can bring them together.

  • Cheese boards and platters: Drizzle our honeys over blocks of cheese or try baked brie with honey and nuts.
  • Cheese appetisers: Stuff dates or figs with goat cheese and top with honey or wrap prosciutto and cheese with a honey glaze.
  • Salads: Toss goat cheese, nuts, and dried fruits in spinach salad and drizzle with honey mustard dressing.
  • Sandwiches and toast: Top bakery bread or toast with fresh ricotta, sliced apple or pear, honey, and cinnamon.
  • Cheese fondue: Swirl honey into cheese fondue for a sweet twist. Offer bites of apple, bread cubes, or grapes for dipping.

About Honey For Life

Our History

At Honey For Life we are committed to making honey that is raw, organic and served in its purest form, with as little human interaction as possible. The way nature intended.

With some of the most beautiful and untouched forests in the world right here in Western Australia, we’re lucky to have the opportunity to create some of Australia’s most sought-after honey, including Active Jarrah, Karri and Red Gum. These varieties are all unique to Western Australia’s South West region, and we feel so proud to share them with you.

In 2019 Honey For Life purchased one of Western Australia’s leading commercial beekeeping operations Davies Apiaries which was established some 40 years ago. With a state-of-the-art extraction facility and 1,200 beehives, we’ve been hard at work expanding this operation ever since.

We hope you enjoy exploring all of our amazing honey.

Restoring Ancient Farmland

We recently purchased and established two plantations on properties in Western Australia’s South West. These properties were cleared of the majority of their native vegetation back in the early 1900s and have been used since for mixed cropping, sheep and cattle grazing.

Since purchasing these properties we’ve planted approximately 1,010,000 trees within the cleared areas to form a future bee-friendly forest with the majority of these trees being native and endemic to Western Australia. These plantations have also been registered with the government as a certified large scale carbon sequestration project.

Also, by significantly boosting the beehive population on these farms at various times of the year, we are creating a net positive pollinator effect on all the surrounding natural flora in the local area.

Our Products

At Honey For Life, we’re all about bringing you the finest selection of premium honey varieties, including the rich Jarrah, rare Karri, delicate Marri, and the sought-after Manuka. Our rare small-batch eucalypt honeys are a true delight for your taste buds, each boasting its own unique flavour profile, and bio-active rating. And let’s not forget about our bee products—bulk beeswax, honeycomb, and pollen—all sourced with sustainability, care and quality in mind. Oh, and did we mention? We’re proud partners of the Rottnest Island Queen Bee program, offering wholesale queen bees for your beekeeping endeavours.
