Pure Raw 100% Australian Honey - The Apiarist Surf Coast Honey

The Apiarist Raw Surf Coast Honey – 400g & 1kg

Delicate Sugar Gum Honey from Victoria’s Surf Coast

The Surf Coast is one of Victoria’s most beautiful stretches of country. Rugged coastline gives way to lush rainforest gullies and stands of towering eucalypts, and the mix of flora makes it a true sanctuary for bees. The locals might be famously laid back, but the bees certainly aren’t. Out among the flowering sugar gums, they work tirelessly to produce one of the most elegant honeys in The Apiarist range.

Tasting Notes

Surf Coast is a lighter, more refined honey with a gentle eucalyptus character. Soft vanilla notes come through first, followed by a sweet, fruity nougat flavour that makes it wonderfully moreish. It’s smooth, clean and delicate on the palate, with no harsh edges. This is the ideal everyday honey and a perfect introduction to Australian eucalypt honeys.

Variety: Sugar Gum
Flavour profile: Delicate eucalyptus, vanilla, fruity nougat
Colour: Light golden amber

Pure, Raw and Unpasteurised. Nothing Added, Nothing Taken Away.

This is honey the way the bees made it.

• 100% raw: Extracted and jarred without heat treatment, so the natural enzymes, pollen and aromas stay intact.
• Unpasteurised: Never heated to high temperatures, filtered to clarity or blended to sameness.
• Antibiotic free: Produced in Australia, where antibiotics aren’t used in beehives.
• No added chemicals, sugars or syrups: Just pure honey and nothing else.
• Harvested and jarred in regional Victoria by a proudly Australian-owned producer.

How to Enjoy It

The soft vanilla and nougat notes of Surf Coast honey make it a versatile favourite:

• Drizzled over pancakes, waffles or French toast
• Stirred into tea, especially green or chamomile, where its delicate flavour won’t overpower
• Spooned over fresh fruit, ricotta or vanilla ice cream
• Swirled through smoothies, overnight oats and yoghurt bowls
• Paired with soft cheeses such as brie or fresh goat’s cheese
• Sweetening desserts, custards and light baking

A Note on Crystallisation

Raw honey crystallises naturally over time. Pure, unprocessed honey does this, and the honey hasn’t gone off. If you prefer it runny, stand the jar in warm (not boiling) water and stir gently until it softens. Store it at room temperature in a cool, dry spot, out of direct sunlight. There’s no need to refrigerate.

Available Sizes

• 400g jar: Perfect for the pantry or as a gift

From one beekeeper to another: sugar gum honey is gentle, sweet and endlessly versatile, a jar that never lasts long in any kitchen.
