Handmade In Aotea
All Aotea products are handmade on Aotea (Great Barrier Island) New Zealand using native flora grown, harvested, extracted, and bottled by our team. Our ingredients are predominantly natural, with a focus on organic sources whenever feasible. While we prioritize organic ingredients, it's essential to acknowledge that not all can be certified organic due to being wild-harvested, reflecting the unique nature of our island-based production process.

Our Mānuka Honey is sourced sustainably from our hives on AOTEA – Great Barrier Island. The island is almost entirely covered in secondary forest growth consisting predominantly of manuka and kanuka. This helps to ensure our Mānuka Honey is of the highest quality. All our honey is sustainably sourced and packed straight from the hives so it's just as nature intended. Certified MGO rating 125+.
Mānuka truly is one of nature’s special gifts. Despite its incredible global popularity, it's important to consider that Mānuka flowers only bloom for 2-6 weeks every year, which speaks to how rare and delicate the process of attaining Mānuka honey really is. Our honey comes from Aotea also known as Great Barrier Island, covered in first generation Mānuka trees. This means that there is no cross-pollination between other flowers of other plants. The consequence of this is that our mono-floral capacity is off the charts and our honey is considered to be the purest on the planet.
