Medium amber, nutty, and it stays liquid in the jar instead of crystallising. https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/macadamia-honey/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/macadamia-honey/ Malt-and-toffee honey from macadamia blossom – the nut the world thinks is Hawaiian and is not: the global crop traces to trees near Gympie, Queensland, and these orchards stand in the tree’s own native country. https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/river-red-gum-honey/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/river-red-gum-honey/ The honey of the big pale-limbed gums along the Murray and the Darling: pale, mild and thick-bodied, and quick to crystallise in the jar. https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/sugarbag-honey/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/sugarbag-honey/ Australia’s original honey, from native stingless bees rather than the European honey bee. Thin, sharp and acid, stored in resin pots instead of wax comb, and carrying a sugar found in almost no other honey. A whole hive makes about a jar a year. https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/yellow-box-honey/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://hugo.honeytraveler.com/australia-honey/cross-region/yellow-box-honey/ Australia’s everyday table honey for more than a century: pale, mild and buttery, and it stays liquid for years.
