Understanding Propolis Quality
New Zealand's propolis is a testament to the nation's pristine environment and diverse flora. The origin of propolis matters greatly as its quality and potency vary significantly based on its source. New Zealand's unique climate and unspoiled habitats produce propolis of unparalleled purity, enriched with exceptionally high levels of bioactive compounds. These bioactives are the core of propolis's protective power.
Not all propolis is created equal. The real value of propolis lies in its bioactive content, not just the amount of raw propolis. Raw propolis can often be laden with wax and impurities, which dilute the bioactives that are essential for its effectiveness. When choosing propolis, it's crucial to look for products explicitly mentioning the levels of bioactive compounds on the label, particularly flavonoids and caffeine. These are the indicators of a high-quality propolis product.
The Journey of Onetahi Manuka Honey: From Hive to Home
1. The Hive: A World of Wonder
It all begins in the buzzing world of the beehive. Imagine a bustling city of bees, with one queen, hundreds of drone bees, and up to 80,000 hardworking female worker bees. These worker bees are the heroes of our story. They venture out, gather the nectar from the exotic Manuka flowers, and bring it back to the hive. Inside their honey sacs, a magical transformation occurs – enzymes and proteins mingle with the nectar, starting the process that will eventually turn it into honey.
2. Extraction: Where Science Meets Craft
Once the frames are heavy with honey, they're brought to our facility. We gently remove the wax caps and place the frames into a honey extractor. This isn't just any machine, it's where centrifugal force meets traditional care. We spin the frames, coaxing the honey into its pure, golden form. This process is as mesmerizing as it is efficient, ensuring every drop of honey is harvested.
3. Cellaring: Patience Makes Perfect
Next comes cellaring. Think of it as the honey's time to mature, like a fine wine. We pour the honey into drums, and our experts meticulously test it. We're talking about a careful, controlled process that lets the unique UMF properties of our Manuka honey develop to their fullest potential. This step is crucial – it's where quality and purity are not just preserved but enhanced.
4. Creaming: The Art of Texture
When the honey is just right, it's time for creaming. This is where our master honey artisans take over, using time-honored New Zealand methods. For about three days, FThehoney is gently creamed, achieving that perfect balance of smooth texture and rich flavor. It's an art form, and we take immense pride in it.
5. Packing: Sustainability at Heart
Packing is more than just putting honey in jars. We use sustainable materials – recycled glass and BPA-free recyclable plastic jars. Each container is a commitment to our planet, ensuring that our packaging is as eco-friendly as our honey is pure.
6. Storage and Dispatch: Ensuring Perfection
Finally, the honey is ready to travel from our home to yours. Our storage and dispatch system is a well-oiled machine. We use trusted partners like DHL Express to ensure that each jar of Onetahi Manuka honey reaches you in perfect condition, no matter where you are.
