Product details
Hakatere Naturals Wildflowers 500G is a blended floral honey collected from a range of native and introduced wildflowers across New Zealand. Labeled and sold as raw honey, the jar preserves natural enzymes and antioxidants through minimal filtration and gentle handling. The colour ranges to a warm golden hue and the taste presents layered floral notes rather than a single-flower profile, reflecting its floral nectar blend origin. Independent testing confirms the purity and quality of the floral honey blend as described on the label.
How to use

Storage and care
Store the jar at room temperature away from direct sunlight to maintain the golden honey liquid consistency; crystallisation is natural for raw honey and does not indicate spoilage.
