Where is the honey from?
Unleashed from New Zealand’s Untamed Wild: This is The Honey the World Couldn’t Access.
Manuka hives are located deep in the Taranaki backcountry where bees feast on wild Mānuka.
The bees pollinate the native Mānuka Bush during a small seasonal window in the spring and summer. Melu Honey hives are immersed in a region so remote that we sometimes access the area by helicopter and the only pollen available for kilometres is mānuka.
Our Mānuka Honey is a beautiful resource with considerably higher levels of enzymes and antibacterial properties than found in other honey. It is truly one of Mother Nature’s special gifts to us.
Mānuka honey production is limited, making every jar of Melu Honey a limited edition, designed & destined for the honey connoisseurs pantry.
A place of generous rainfall, rich volcanic soil and unrivalled fertility, Taranaki has the perfect conditions for Leptospermum scoparium, also known as mānuka, to grow wild and abundantly. Centuries ago, volcanic activity deposited rich nutrients to create vast, dense swathes of mānuka stands. Melu Honey has access to this mānuka-covered land, largely untouched by humans and untroubled by rival flora or interference from cultivated crops and the chemicals that come with it. Here, the bees feast exclusively on mānuka nectar and from this comes pure mānuka honey.
With a light touch and as little interference as possible from a small boutique family owned farm, our bee keepers bring the incredible properties of the fertile Taranaki region to you.

What is the vision for Melu?
My focus is transparency, that we are who and what we say. I want to have a relationship with the consumer that is real and felt. I want to have open communication and connection with the people who use Manuka and who manuka touches the lives of. I want them to know who I am and what true value the liquid gold they are buying is.
I hope that people feel closer to nature when they have their Manuka. My wish is that the strengthening of the gut brain connection will bring happiness to people, physically & emotionally.

Clé is commited to bringing humans closer to nature
Clé explains, “Millions of Bacteria live within us – shaping mood, immune & energy. If everyone started their day with Manuka honey, the world would be a happier place”. This statement originates in the science that Manuka honey supports the microbiome, feeding the good bacteria that keep the gut-brain connection flowing. Cle explains, “If you nourish the inner world, you restore balance from the inside out. Not all bacteria are bad. Some are our deepest allies. Manuka honey carries natures innate intelligence – supporting the good, calming the harmful, bringing harmony to the microbiome.”
