Wedderspoon sources some of the world's finest, raw, organic, mono flora honeys from the pristine pastures & rugged mountains of New Zealand south isl&. The unique south island climate produces many remarkable honeys exclusive only to New Zealand & Wedderspoon. Being aware of the wide spread colony collapse disorder crisis, our bee keepers use sustainable & labor intensive bee keeping practices to promote healthy bee hives & to increase & maintain the bee population. Every batch of honey is tested for pollen purity & is traceable back to the hive, which guarantees the consistency of all Wedderspoon products. All our artisanal unpasteurized honeys are RAW meaning that they have not been heated. Raw honey is important, as this ensures that the natural bee enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins & minerals & activity present in raw honey remains unaltered, intact & are not destroyed during packaging. All our honeys are tested to ensure they never contain chemical residues & antibiotics.
