The Story

Derived from the majestic Eucalyptus wandoo woodlands of Western Australia, White Gum honey is shaped by an environment where trees bloom intensely during hot, dry summer cycles. Honey bees face the challenge of extracting nectar from high canopy blossoms under intense heat, resulting in a honey that is naturally cured to an exceptionally low moisture content range between 15.5% and 17%.\n\nIts internal structure boasts an elevated fructose balance that inhibits granulation, providing excellent liquid stability and an intensely smooth, velvety, and almost buttery viscosity on the tongue. Breaking entirely away from the sharply medicinal, cineole-heavy profiles common to other eucalypts, White Gum honey delivers a mild, clean, and highly sophisticated caramel-like sugar high-note that makes it a world-class dessert finishing asset over vanilla bean ice cream or triple cream brie.
