Peter, the founder of The Kangaroo Island Ligurian Bee Co, was removing a swarm of bees from a beach shack at Hanson Bay, on the south coast of Kangaroo Island, in the 1980s, when he first discovered this honey, and he hasn’t found it since.
Until now! With only 17 boxes of honey harvested, there are only very limited numbers of jars of this honey available and we may never get the chance to experience this intense flavour again.
Karkalla’s more common name is pig face. The leaves, fruit and flowers of this native plant can be eaten and have a salty flavour. The plants have also been used for their medicinal qualities. When it flowers it has very bright, nectar rich flowers that our bees love.
It’s a bittersweet symphony in your mouth! The green vegetal flavour develops from an initial grapefruit-like sweetness to leave a memorable bitter, chicory-like aftertaste. This honey is a great accompaniment to a cheese board (especially with salty, Greek or goats cheeses).
If you want to surprise your friends or family with a very different tasting honey, or you just want to secure your taste of this moment in time, then this is the one for you.
So even though honey lasts forever, this one won’t, and orders are limited to a maximum of 2 jars each.
SHIPPING INFORMATION
Orders are usually packed and dispatched within 1 to 3 business days, but may take longer during busy periods. Once the order is shipped you will receive notification and a tracking number.
Our honey is raw and is not fine filtered, which means it undergoes minimal processing during the extraction and packing, so that it retains the health benefits from the naturally occurring enzymes.
For this reason we are unable to send honey to Western Australia or the Northern Territory.
We can ship honey to Tasmania, but cannot ship any candles or wax products.
Depending on the country, international shipments may be subject to import taxes, duties and custom fees which are levied by the country of destination and are the responsibility of the recipient.
In some instances honey or honey products may not be cleared by Customs. Please be aware that we cannot offer refunds or guarantee receipt of products outside of Australia, and recommend checking the requirements of the destination country before placing an order.
Due to customs restrictions, we are unable to ship honey to countries within the EU.
