[Speaker 1 – Samantha, Brand Ambassador – 0:01] One of the most popular flavours at Honey For Life is our Jarrah honey, sourced from these lush Jarrah Forests in Australia’s south west. Jarrah honey is made from an entirely unique variety, as the trees are only found in a small area of Western Australia. Due to the smaller area in which they’re located, Jarrah trees are highly sought after. We truly consider the honey we get from their flowers a treasure to be savoured. These amazing trees can grow to be over 40 metres high, flowering just every 2 years, and can even live to be over 400 years old.
[Speaker 1 – 0:39] Our Jarrah honey is a rich medium to dark amber colour. It has a full, intense and complex flavour that is more savory than sweet, as Jarrah honey is lower in glucose than other honey varieties.
[Speaker 1 tasting Jarrah honey – 0:52] I’d say it’s quite peppery.
[Speaker 2 – Shane, Honey For Life CEO – 0:54] The collection of Jarrah is a bit of a mystical art, because Mother Nature doesn’t always behave as she’s meant to and some years when Jarrah is meant to flower it doesn’t, and vice versa. So, in 2019 we were very pleased that we had a bumper crop of Jarrah which we are now storing in our premises, so that we can let it out over the next couple of years.
[Speaker 1 – 1:19] All of the honey we produce goes through testing to determine its Total Activity rating. Total Activity is the honey’s antimicrobial quality, meaning its ability to fight against bacteria. So, the higher the Total Activity rating, the stronger the antibacterial qualities. All of our honeys have an extremely high Activity rating. So not only are they delicious, but good for you as well!
[Speaker 1 – 1:44] One of our most unique products is our Super Jarrah honey, sourced from an exclusive Jarrah Forest just outside Karragullen with our highest Total Activity rating.
[Speaker 1 tasting Super Jarrah honey – 1:55] It’s a lot thicker… but it’s yummy. It almost tastes citrusy.
[Speaker 2 – 2:02] Historically, Jarrah Total Activity ratings are probably in the 30s. In 2019, Mother Nature gave us super strong Jarrah. We had it tested, and we got a lot of readings greater than 50, and that’s our product Super Jarrah.
[Speaker 1 – 2:19] If there was one Honey For Life product you have to try, it’s got to be this one. Pure, organic and delicious. Just the way nature intended.
