Marri Honey

Marri honey comes from the blossom of the marri, or redgum, one of the two big forest trees behind Foragers Honey's range, foraged in the Margaret River region during autumn. The tree blossoms white to pink from December or January through to May. Set it beside a jar of jarrah to taste how much difference one tree species makes to a honey.

Foragers Honey is a family-operated beekeeper based at Barrabup, near Nannup, Western Australia, with permanent hive sites chosen for the diversity of flowering species around them. The honey is extracted by centrifuge and then gravity strained rather than heavily filtered, which is what keeps it raw. The business says it uses no chemicals on its bees or hives.

Use it on toast or through yoghurt, or straight off the spoon if you are trying to decide whether it or the jarrah wins in your house.
