Often referred to as the King of Honey and the Honey of Kings, Leatherwood honey is one of Tasmania’s most distinctive natural products.
Its bold, complex flavour is often described as “tasting like the rainforest” — a character shaped by the rare Leatherwood tree and the wild landscapes where our bees forage.
Since 1955, the Charles family has been sourcing Leatherwood honey from the heart of Tasmania’s Tarkine wilderness.
eatherwood honey comes from the nectar of the Leatherwood tree (Eucryphia lucida), a rare native tree found in Tasmania. The wild rainforests of Tasmania are the only place in the world where this distinctive tree naturally grows.
That makes Leatherwood more than just another honey.
It is a taste of a very specific place — Tasmania’s ancient rainforest.
