We source our Jarrah honey from reputable Western Australian beekeepers who have been independently audited for Jarrah traceability. All of our Jarrah honey is also independently tested and verified by leading honey laboratories and therefore, has been awarded the Jarrah honey logo of approval to demonstrate our Jarrah’s authenticity.

Like Manuka, Jarrah heightened active antibacterial properties. This is measured by determining the ‘Total Activity’ (TA) of the honey. Total Activity is measured by microbial methods to determine its capability at stopping the growth of pathogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus (“Golden Staph”). The antibacterial activity is due to the presence of a natural chemical known as hydrogen peroxide. A rating of 10+ relates to the strength of the activity, the higher the rating the higher the presence of hydrogen peroxide and its antibacterial effect.

Our Jarrah honey can be applied topically to the skin or ingested orally. Just like Manuka honey, a great deal of clinical research has been conducted on the antibacterial properties derived from the natural enzymes in Jarrah honey. However, as each individual health case is different, we are unable to provide dosage advice. Please consult with a qualified health professional for any specific health concerns.
