Eucalyptus honey

Eucalyptus honey is a type of honey made by honeybees that forage on eucalyptus.

Eucalyptus honey

It is common in Australia, in Western Cape in South Africa, and in Brazil, but many varieties of eucalyptus honey come from trees found all over the world, from tropical to temperate regions.[1] In the United States, it comes from California, where more than 500 different subspecies of the plant are grown.[1]

Monofloral eucalypt honeys include Jarrah, Yellow Box, Grey box, Blue Gum, River Red Gum, Ironbark, Stringybark and Messmate.

Variety

Eucalyptus honey varies greatly in color and flavor, but in general, it tends to be a bold-flavored honey that ranges from tart to sweet,[1] with a slightly medicinal aftertaste. Its colour ranges from light amber to medium-dark red.[1] It may be used in baked goods, sauces, dressings, but is best consumed raw, unfiltered and unheated.[1]
