Delivering on Quality

International Quality Standards

We pride ourselves on producing some of the world's best honey.

Crafting the Finest Honeys

Our customers tell us that our honey is top notch when it comes to flavour and texture. Our master Creamers are craftsman of honey, creating honey creamer that produces the smoothest honeys you have ever tasted, with superior texture, viscosity and crystal size.

Higher Standards

All our honey is inspected at every stage of production and finally passing through a metal detector to ensure the utmost quality.  Every batch is crafted to meet yours and our incredibly high-quality standards then independently verified by accredited laboratories. We have incredibly high standards, but if you need something different to the specification we provide, we can customise it to your individual quality needs. 

Quality Assurance Programmes

We operate a strong Quality Assurance Programme with vigilant compliance and certification systems, supported by our in-house laboratory.

We undertake regular testing of our honey and honey products to ensure our customers are getting top quality and value. Our experienced in-house lab is capable of conducting a wide range of tests to meet our quality standards and those of our domestic and export markets.  Tests are also carried out by independent IANZ certified laboratories to ensure our products comply with the most stringent quality standards. Test results are available via a certificate of analysis, which is validated against our own specifications and those of our customers to ensure compliance with international standards in a wide range of markets.

Testing to International Standards

We know you have high standards, and so do we. That’s why all our Quality Assurance Programmes meet world class guidelines and international standards. We are focused on a high-quality production process and the highest quality assurance standards. Our purpose-built processing facility operates a HACCP based Risk Management Programme and is a certified SQF food production facility, licensed and inspected by New Zealand's Ministry of Primary Industry (MPI).

Top Quality Auditing Results

Not only do we go through extensive auditing processes to ensure we deliver the best quality for you, but our world class auditing results speak for themselves. We benchmark ourselves not only against other honey suppliers, but all production operations.

Traceability & Authenticity

As part of our commitment to food safety, we ensure we have clear lines of traceability of all our products.  We know where all our honey comes from and where it ends up.  Along the way we ensure that we are focused on a high-quality production process and the highest quality assurance standards.

Our traceability processes ensure the authenticity of our raw materials so you can be assured the final product is genuine and to the highest possible standard. Our knowledge and experience with quality control, traceability systems, and export requirements guarantee that we operate at the highest standard achievable.
