Description
Flavour and Texture
Medium to dark amber in the jar, thick on the spoon, with that signature caramel finish that lingers a little longer than you expect. One of the quirks of jarrah honey is how slowly it crystallises, because its glucose is low and its fructose is high, so it stays liquid and pourable in the pantry long after other honeys have set.What the TA Rating Means
TA stands for Total Activity, and a TA rating is a laboratory measurement of the honey’s natural activity, tested against bacteria and fungi in the lab. In jarrah, most of that activity comes from hydrogen peroxide, which forms slowly from an enzyme the bees add, and ours is independently tested at TA35+ with the results on our current jarrah honey TA certificate. Manuka works differently, getting most of its activity from methylglyoxal (MGO), and because manuka’s grade only counts its non-peroxide activity, jarrah honey vs manuka honey is rarely as simple as comparing the numbers on two labels.How to Use It
Drizzle it over yoghurt, porridge or fresh fruit, stir it into warm (not boiling) water with lemon first thing in the morning, spread it on sourdough with a smear of butter, or put it on a board with sharp cheese and walnuts.Choosing Your Raw Honey Jar
Our jarrah honey is available in a 500g glass jar, which most people choose for the pantry or as a gift, or a 500g squeezy bottle, which makes everyday use a little less sticky. For households that get through honey quickly, there’s also a 1kg tub.Jarrah Honey FAQs
What is jarrah honey?
Jarrah honey is made by bees from the nectar of the jarrah tree (Eucalyptus marginata), a eucalypt that grows naturally only in the south-west of Western Australia.
What does TA35+ mean?
TA stands for Total Activity, a laboratory measurement of a honey’s natural activity, and the plus sign means our jarrah tested at 35 or higher, with the full result on our current TA certificate.
How is jarrah honey different from manuka?
They come from different trees and get their activity from different sources. Jarrah’s comes mostly from hydrogen peroxide and is rated as TA, while manuka’s comes mainly from methylglyoxal and is rated as MGO, and jarrah also has a distinctive caramel flavour and comes from native Western Australian forests, where the jarrah trees only flower heavily every few years.
Does jarrah honey crystallise?
Very slowly, because jarrah has a low glucose and high fructose ratio and stays liquid much longer than most honeys, and if it ever does set, sit the jar in warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes and give it a stir.
How should I store raw jarrah honey?
Keep it in a cool, dry pantry with the lid on tight rather than in the fridge, and it’ll keep for a very long time, though its colour and flavour can slowly deepen as it ages.

At our shop at Malaga Markets (Shop 74, 7 Bonner Dr, Malaga), open Friday to Sunday, 9am to 4pm, where you can taste it before you buy. Online orders can be picked up there free of charge too.
Do you ship jarrah honey Australia-wide?
Yes, shipping is free Australia-wide on orders over $129 (under 5kg) and every order is tracked, with glass jars travelling by Australia Post Express so they spend less time in transit, and squeezy bottles and tubs going by Australia Post Standard.

PBH vs Supermarket Honey
Your honey questions, answered
Why has my honey crystallised?
Totally normal, and actually a good sign. Real, raw honey crystallises over time because of its natural sugar content, it just means there’s nothing added and nothing taken away. If you want it back to liquid, sit the jar in a bowl of warm (not boiling) water for a few minutes and give it a stir. It’ll taste exactly the same.
Is raw honey better than normal honey?
In our books, yes. Most honey you see in supermarkets has been heated and filtered, which is great for shelf life but strips out a lot of the natural pollen, enzymes and flavour along the way. Ours is raw, meaning it’s harvested straight from the hive and never heated past what the bees themselves would experience. You get all the natural goodness, plus that proper honey taste.
Do you ship Australia-wide?
Yep, we ship to every state and territory across Australia. Just pop in your address at checkout and we’ll get your honey on its way.
Where does the honey come from?
Straight from our own hives across Western Australia. We’re migratory beekeepers, moving our hives through Perth and the South West so our bees can forage from native trees like Jarrah and Marri, then we harvest and bottle it ourselves.
What type of honey is best for me?
Depends what you’re after. Want something bold and packed with wellness benefits? Go for Jarrah, it’s got a smooth caramel and toffee flavour and strong antimicrobial properties. After an everyday honey the whole family loves? Marri (Red Gum) is our most popular for a reason. Got little ones or prefer something gentler? Wandoo or our Creamed honey are lovely and mild.
