Honey color ranges from nearly colorless to dark brown depending on where the honey bees buzzed. As a general rule, light-colored honey is milder in taste and dark-colored honey is stronger.

We analyse the following parameters for every batch of honey to ensure it meets the identification claim on the label.

Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)* : 5.0 mg/100g
HMF is an indicator substance that accumulates in honey and increases rapidly with heating. Our average is 5, the NZ average is 22 and the EU regulates below 40.
Moisture : 11.3 g/100g
The moisture in honey affects its viscosity and keeping qualities. It should be below 19 and lower is usually better.
Glucose : 33.3 g/100g
One of the two main sugars in honey, glucose is the main sugar in honey that crystallises.
Fructose : 35.3 g/100g
The other main sugar in honey, fructose absorbs moisture from the air in humid environments and also provides much of the sweetening power of honey being 1.7 times sweeter than sucrose (table sugar).
Sucrose : 3.6 g/100g
Sucrose (normal table sugar) should normally be below 5%. It occurs naturally in the nectar bees collect from flowers and some plants have more than others.
Maltose : 0.9 g/100g
Some honeys have higher levels of maltose and this helps with their identification.
