Flinders Island honey.
From the island to Your Plate.
Flinders Island honey is owned and run by John Siermicki and is making a name for itself as a quality and truly pure product. The honey is produced in one of the cleanest environments in the world. Flinders Island is renowned for the pollution free winds that blow hundreds of kilometres across Bass Strait. John has been producing some of the best quality honey on Flinders for about 20 years.
Flinders Island Manuka honey has a bold presence, with a distinct flavour profile. The hives are scattered throughout the island in the Manuka bush. It is such a natural and pure environment, no wonder the honey contains such a unique flavour. Manuka honey is also known for its health benefits and this year the Flinders Island Manuka honey was sold as 100+ milligrams of Methylglyoxal (MGO) per kilogram of honey.
The Meadow honey hives are positioned to promote the bees to forage amongst the dandelions, Butterfactory vineyard and Lucerne crop just outside of Whitemark. The meadow honey is a fresh mild honey and is amazing for chefs and homecooks to use in a wide range of recipes. If you are not a big fan of using a lot of honey, Flinders Island Meadow honey will turn you into a honey lover with its natural, soft flavour.
