Our Honey Process
How it makes its way from the bees to you!
STEP 1:
Source & Harmonise
At Adleys Honey, we believe that the beauty of nature’s sweetness lies in the harmonious blend of flavours. Our dedicated beekeepers, passionate about their craft, source the finest single origin Australian honey straight from their thriving hives nestled across Australia. Each drop reflects the purity of our sun-kissed Country and the care taken in each harvest.
But we don’t stop there. Our blending process is a labor of love, carefully orchestrated to elevate the floral essence of our cornerstone honey, enhancing its rich notes with delightful floral hints from our exclusive small-batch selections.
The result? A truly unique flavour experience that dances on your palate and evokes the sweetness of Australian landscapes.
STEP 2:
Gently Warmed
In the world of honey crafting, where the delicate dance between nature and nurture takes centre stage, the gentle warming of honey becomes an art in itself.
This special controlled environment is designed with utmost care, ensuring that only a gentle heat surrounds the honey, creating an atmosphere of tender warmth simulating the natural conditions of a hot summer day, facilitating smooth flowing honey without compromising its quality.
Maintaining the integrity of the nectar harvested from hardworking bees is paramount. We simply allow the honey to glide smoothly, ready for packaging, while respecting the integrity of its unique flavour and health-giving properties.
STEP 3:
NO micro filtering
At the heart of our artisan approach to honey production lies a steadfast commitment to preserving the traditional structure and remarkable natural benefits of this exquisite substance. We believe that every jar of honey should retain its authenticity and healthful qualities, which is why we don’t filter our honey. Instead, our careful process begins with gentle straining, an artful technique designed to remove only the unwanted intrusions—like wax particles and tiny wings—while allowing the essence of the honey to remain intact.
By minimising processing, we honour the bees’ diligent work and ensure that each spoonful is infused with the unadulterated richness of floral nectar and the myriad of nutrients that nature intended. This unfiltered approach allows the nuanced flavours, distinct textures, and vibrant attributes of our honey to shine through, providing not just a sweet addition to your favourite foods but a connection to craftsmanship and health.
STEP 4:
Sampling & Taste
Our unwavering commitment to excellence ensures that every jar of honey that reaches your local store is a testament to nature’s purest ingredients…only honey! Before it ever gets to you, our team (mainly Chris) conducts sampling of each batch. We analyse its flavour, texture, and aroma to guarantee that you receive nothing short of the very best.
What sets our honey apart? It’s simple—nothing is ever added! Each spoonful is a genuine reflection of the flowers the bees visit, captured in its most authentic form. We take immense pride in presenting honey that remains as nature intended: pure, unadulterated, and nourishing.
With every drop, we invite you to savour the sweet essence of the bees work, knowing that you are enjoying a product that is tried and true. Experience the difference in quality and taste — because to us, your satisfaction matters most!
ORIGIN:
Why our honey tastes
INCREDIBLE.
The East Coast of Australia provides our bees and their farmers with some of the cleanest bushland to gather pollen and nectar. The benefit of having a team of Beekeepers from Victoria, throughout New South Wales and into Queensland offers access to an extensive range of ecosystems, such as coastal forests, outback plains and crop pollination.
Resulting in a delicious blend of honey flavours, a reflection of the land it came from.
RAW:
Just as the bees intended…
PERFECTION
Bees have been doing this making honey stuff for 130 million years so why mess with it?
Our honey is 100% natural, minimally processed and it is never pasteurised or heated to high temperatures. We believe that the honey in your jar should be a culinary experience like that of a Beekeeper when trying it straight from the beehive.
We gently warm our honey to that of a summers day to allow it to flow easily into the jar. This preserves all of the naturally occurring nutrients, flavours and aromas…just as the bees intended.
UNFILTERED:
Straight from the beehive!
MINUS BEES
Adleys Honey is collected straight from the beehive. Naturally, honey is filled with hive debris, chucks of pollen, wax and occasionally some bee parts. As a way of removing the not so edible parts in the most gentle and respectful manner our honey is gently strained; never pasteurised or filtered. This allows us to retain a high-quality, naturally pollen filled and nutrient rich honey.
TRIPLE CHECKED:
Only the best will do!
SAY NO TO ADDITIVES
To ensure our customers are receiving the very best Australian honey directly from the Beekeeper we always sample and test our honey. If we don’t love it then why would you? Only the best will do!
Adleys Honey is 100% natural Australian honey with absolutely nothing added or removed to change its natural composition.
