Pemberton Honey Co
Karri honey is light in colour and sweet, with what the maker calls a butterscotch flavour. Pemberton Honey Co says its karri comes from forest between Denmark and Pemberton and is its most popular honey.
Karri is scarce: the maker says heavy flowerings come only once every five to ten years. To compare, try Wandoo (thick, toffee and caramel), Hakea (light, with citrus and lemon notes) or Parrot Bush (dense, dark and savoury). Wandoo comes from inland and parrot bush from north of Perth, not from the karri forest. Another maker's version is Icon Honey's Karri.
Made by Pemberton Honey Co, run by Mikey and Allexa Cernotta from their farm just outside Pemberton, where the honey is packed on site.
Seeing it in person
Pemberton Honey Co sells from a self-serve stall at its farm, seven days a week, and runs tastings and shed tours by appointment (contact page, checked 26 September 2026; stall confirmed on its find-us page, 12 October 2026). The maker also lists the shops that carry its honey on its find-us page.
Delivery and flying home
Pemberton Honey Co delivers anywhere in Australia, free above a set order value and at a flat rate below it (shipping page, 12 October 2026). Honey counts as a gel. On most domestic flights it can go in your cabin bag. On international flights only containers of 100 mL or 100 g or less can, such as the maker's three-jar 60 g tasting pack; a 340 g jar goes in checked baggage. Tasmania has its own honey rules. Rules change, so check Home Affairs and your airline, and see our flying-home guide.
Questions
What if the honey sets in the jar?
Honey can crystallise. The maker's shipping page says gentle heating will make it liquid again.
