BENEFITS & USES
Nature’s Miracle
Manuka honey comes from the nectar of the flower of the Manuka bush (leptospermum scoparium) which is indigenous to New Zealand. It is this special nectar and the bee that give Manuka honey its unique properties. Manuka honey is highly sought after for the following reasons – the Manuka flower only produces nectar for 3-4 weeks a year, Manuka honey includes signature compounds not available in other types of honey, and because the unique properties of Manuka honey are well understood by consumers around the world.

The flavour profile of Manuka honey is greatly affected by the environment the Manuka flower grows in. WildCape is a single source UMF™ Manuka honey harvested exclusively from the untouched and unspoilt East Cape region. Unlike Manuka honey from other regions which can have a strong flavour and bitter aftertaste, Manuka honey from the East Cape region of New Zealand is highly regarded for its delicious mild flavour.
