Kanuka honey has a beautiful flavour
Clemence L. –
The best honey according to my husband. Good taste, a bit tree-like or bushy… excellent texture. Love it!
Stephanie L. –
This is my pick from the Mountain Valley Honey range. It has rich caramel/vanilla notes, and a beautiful aroma. I love to use this one in baking.
Cristiano D. –
Love the consistency and flavor depth. Best on its own as it has particular flavor.
Athol G. –
This has a great flavour and texture.

First time I have tasted Kanuka honey. Lovely pleasant flavour, really enjoyable to eat. Great quick friendly service from Mountain Valley Honey.

Kanuka is my pick! I grew up on a farm where we had a lot of kanuka and the local beekeeper paid us in honey for having hives. The rich distinctive flavour of kanuka honey takes me back to my childhood!

This is the honey for anyone who finds Manuka Honey just a little full-on. It’s rich but not too rich, while also offering health benefits. I love that you can not only take a teaspoon a day to keep the doctor away, but also apply it topically to treat inflammatory skin conditions.
Rose B. –
Very tasty flavoursome honey. Great on ciabatta toast with a tasty coffee.
John K. –
I originally ordered Mountain Valley Kanuka honey for its special qualities in repairing some sun damaged skin I have. It has been excellent for this. I was however amazed at its unique taste. What a fantastic honey.
Eon L. –
I have tried honey from all over the world. Your honey is indeed World Class, the Kanuka honey has excellent sweetness and great floral flavours you can taste flowers which produced this honey hats off to you and your Bees.
Andrew C. –
We love all Mountain Valley honeys – in fact, we buy 10 jars at a time. Kanuka is just one of the many gorgeous MVH flavours we love so much.
Richard H. –
Beautiful delicious flavour. We have a teaspoon a day. It reminds us of how lucky we are to have quality products like this produced in our country. The service is great. The honey arrived in a few days and it was neatly packaged. Very happy.
Sarah B. –
Delicious taste and texture, lovely and deep.
Janice M. –
Gorgeous rich flavour and wonderful golden colour to this smooth honey. This is the perfect honey for an after-work toast snack as a satisfying pick me up. Just love it.
Dallas H. –
I absolutely love this honey! It has the best flavour and many of the benefits of its richer cousin Manuka honey but I think has a far better taste.
Gerold M. –
Initially bought this to treat rosacea on my scalp. Apply it daily for 30-45 minutes before my morning shower. Works very well, reduces redness by about 80%. Also discovered it’s a great tasting honey, by the spoonful, on toast, to sweeten herb tea, and instead of sugar for rhubarb compote. Brilliant stuff.

This one has unique taste but it is not too strong. I take this for a health reason. A great substitute for Manuka honey, which is more expensive. I have it with toast, tea, etc.

This is quite simply the absolute best honey. The taste and texture are just what you expect in a great honey. It is perfect on toast spreading easily. It is also great to use in baking instead of sugar, giving a bit of flavour as well as sweetness. I love when cooking rhubarb. It’s my go to honey.
Joseph Hindley –
I also have tried honey in many countries and have settled on your Kanuka honey as the best. I love its flavour, its texture is so much better than clear honey and its depth of character is amazing. I eat some every day – usually on my porridge!
Steven Thorpe –
YUM very delicious honey! I eat it straight from the bottle twice a day! Big gobs of honey on a teaspoon…
Gareth Williams –
I like the taste of Kanuka honey easy to spread on toast. Will buy again
Terence Walsh –
Again a great product with many therapeutic qualities also tastes better than Manuka (in my opinion). Thx for the menu’s and the wee pot of Manuka.

I bought several jars of honey from Mountain Valley a couple of weeks ago and was super impressed with the service as well as the extra unexpected goodies on my package and most of all the honey is delish!! 😋😋
Also looking forward to making some natural skincare products with the kanuka and manuka honey🐝🐝
Richard Allen –
We use Kanuka honey in our rongoa products because of the highly anti-inflammatory properties of the kanuka. Perfect for our purpose in cough medicines.

Kanuka honey has a very distinctive taste.
Very unusual and definitely wanting more. I love it. Robyn😀

I use this honey for its health benefits. I use it topically and ingest it. I was diagnosed with actinic keratosis and it has improved my skin in 1 week. The amazing healing properties of this honey are amazing. Thank you for producing, with help from your bees, an amazing beneficial pure honey.

All honey is a treasure, and Kanuka is a standout favourite. This has to be some of the best honey on our planet. We are so lucky to be able to buy it here.

A shy cousin indeed or better yet the little Bro or Sis of Manuka. Lighter in flavour but so enjoyable 😋😋
