OUR BEEKEEPERS

Much like the worker bee, our beekeepers serve not only as skilled experts in harvesting the golden forest honey, but also tends to each hive, nursing and guarding the apiary. Each day is one of discovery and intrigue, learning and preserving the secrets of harvesting honey. Inspired by our skilful bees, we pass our knowledge and craft from one generation to the next with an appreciation, respect and care for the wonders of Nature. Sometimes it is good to limit the human touch, therefore we focus to produce and harvest the finest quality honey, with as little change from the source to the jar as possible. With our diverse landscape and topiaries, we are able to produce a refined selection of honey variations. Each batch is unique, due to the native flora and the seasons that the honey was produced.

Creaming Process

  • Forest Gold has developed a proprietary creaming process to address the common
    issue of honey hardening while sitting on shelves or in storage. This exclusive technique, engineered by Forest Gold, ensures our honey remains soft
    and creamy without compromising its natural properties.

  • Before bottling, the honey undergoes a specialized treatment where it is stored in a tank for 3-5 days, chilled to 15°C, and gently stirred at approximately 8 RPM for five minutes every hour. This method encourages crystallization while preventing the honey from becoming hard, resulting in a consistently smooth and creamy texture.

  • Nothing is added or removed from the honey during this process. We work in
    harmony with the honey’s natural crystallization to ensure a stable product
    that stays soft in the jar for extended periods.

  • Unlike other Manuka honeys, especially those labeled "RAW," which can develop
    unpleasant textures and pose challenges for distributors, Forest Gold ensures
    a consistent, premium texture across its entire honey range, making it easier
    to sell and enjoy
