Taylor Pass Honey Co New Zealand Mānuka Blend Honey

This luscious, dark amber honey made from a blend of mānuka, kanuka and kamahi nectars is bold with notes of wood, spice and sweet citrus. Taylor Pass Honey Co positions their hives deep in the New Zealand forests where bees thrive these wild plants.

Put this honey’s savory notes to work in dressings and richly spiced dishes like our recipe for Spanish Sweet & Smoky Chicken. Whisk New Zealand Mānuka Blend Honey with extra virgin olive oil, Red Wine Vinegar from Pojer e Sandri and Dijon mustard to make a handy marinade that performs double-duty as a vinaigrette.

Taylor Pass Honey Co have been building their knowledge of beekeeping for almost 30 years, ever since founder Darren Clifford was gifted his first hive when he was 14 years old. Located on the South Island of New Zealand, Taylor Pass Honey Co specializes in monofloral honey varieties, as well as prized UMF Manuka Honey.

The folks at Taylor Pass Honey Co are committed to sourcing and producing high-quality honey. They work closely with their beekeepers, while also building strong, long-lasting relationships with the landowners that house their hives. Using RMP accredited extraction, they use state-of-the-art equipment that ensures the honey stays in its most natural, pure state.

Each type of their honey highlights the specific terroir of the South Island of New Zealand, a unique place known for its rugged terrain, lush valleys and almost year round sunny climate. Taylor Pass Honey Co’s honey is a taste of a place—from their Clover Honey from the mountainous region of Central Otago to their Manuka Honey, which comes from the Marlborough Sounds, Nelson Lakes National Park and the Awatere Valley.
