About
Liquid Gold from a Once-Every-Two-Years Bloom
Jarrah Honey is sourced exclusively from the native Jarrah tree (Eucalyptus marginata) of Western Australia — a species found nowhere else on earth. The Jarrah tree blooms only once every two years, with a brief flowering window from late spring to early summer, making each jar an exceptionally rare “liquid gold.” Shrinking due to disease and land clearing, Jarrah forests are producing less and less honey every season.
TA+20 represents medical-grade antimicrobial strength — suitable for wound healing, burns/sunburn, skin infections and oral conditions. The House of Honey maintains a strict unheated, unpasteurised, unadulterated and unblended process, preserving all natural enzymes, vitamins and antioxidants.
Hives are placed in Pristine Native Bushland, far from any industrial or agricultural contamination, ensuring zero pesticide residue. Every batch is independently tested by a NATA-accredited laboratory with its own TA activity report. Founders Rupert and Kim Phillips bring over 50 years of beekeeping experience — Kim is one of only three Accredited Honey Sommeliers in all of Australia.
Benefits
Health Outcomes
+
🛡️ Immune System Support
Natural Antimicrobial Activity powerfully inhibits bacteria and helps prevent infection. Rich in polyphenol antioxidants at 3 times the concentration of Manuka honey, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation to reinforce daily immune defence.
🩹 Soothing & Natural Remedy
Soothes sore throats, mouth ulcers and respiratory discomfort. Applied topically, it helps relieve minor burns, sunburn, minor abrasions and insect bites — accelerating tissue regeneration and reducing infection risk and inflammation.
📈 Low Glycemic Index (Low GI)
A lower glucose-to-fructose ratio yields a lower GI — blood sugar rises slowly and steadily, avoiding sharp spikes and crashes. Supports stable blood sugar, reduces fatigue, and may help lower diabetes risk long-term. An ideal natural sweetener for those managing blood glucose.
🌿 Digestive & Overall Health
Low GI properties help stabilise blood sugar and insulin levels, supporting digestion and helping prevent gastric ulcer-related issues. All-natural enzymes are fully preserved (unpasteurised), supporting gut health and the growth of beneficial gut flora.
⚡ Sustained Energy & Focus
Natural sugars are released slowly, extending the digestion process and keeping you fuller longer. Avoids the post-sugar crash (hypoglycaemic response), reducing fatigue, dizziness and intense hunger. Supports more stable mood and concentration throughout the day.

Active Ingredients & Features
Specifications & Lab Values
+
| Total Activity Rating | TA+20 (Medical-Grade High Activity)
TA+20 |
| Hydrogen Peroxide Activity (H₂O₂) | High — Jarrah honey’s unique advantage. Manuka honey has extremely low H₂O₂ activity. |
| Methylglyoxal (MGO) | Low (<100 mg/kg) — antimicrobial activity relies primarily on H₂O₂, not MGO. A fundamentally different mechanism from Manuka honey. |
| Polyphenols | Rich — Jarrah eucalyptus nectar is exceptionally rich in antioxidant polyphenols, at 3x the concentration of Manuka honey |
| Ingredients | 100% Pure Western Australian Jarrah Honey |
| Processing Method | Unheated, unpasteurised, unadulterated, unblended — all natural enzymes fully preserved |
| Colour & Texture | Amber, relatively fluid and smooth; may naturally crystallise at cooler temperatures — normal for raw honey |
| Aroma & Taste | Malty nutty aroma, naturally sweet and pleasant, smooth finish — easy to eat straight from the spoon |
| Moisture Content | Ideal at ≤18%; Jarrah honey typically lower than average honeys — more stable texture |
| Pack Size | 370g glass jar · approx. 60 kcal per 15g (1 teaspoon) |

TA Rating Guide
Understanding Activity Levels
+
TA (Total Activity) measures the overall antimicrobial capability of honey, encompassing both hydrogen peroxide activity and non-peroxide activity. It can be measured on any honey with antimicrobial properties.
| < TA+10 | TA+10 | TA+20 | TA+30 | TA+35 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Table Honey | Wellness Grade | Medical Grade ▶ | High Medical Grade | Premium Medical Grade |
| Very low or near-zero antimicrobial activity | Soothes everyday minor discomfort, wound care, throat relief | Wound healing, burns/sunburn, skin infections, oral conditions | Resistant infections, deep skin repair | Highest antimicrobial strength, boosts overall health and vitality |
This product uses TA+20 grade Jarrah honey — medical-grade high-strength antimicrobial. For even higher strength, consider The House of Honey TA+30 or TA+35 range.

Storage
How to Store Your Honey
+
- Store at room temperature in a cool, dry place (15–25°C) away from heat and direct sunlight
- Keep lid tightly closed — honey is hygroscopic and will absorb moisture from the air, diluting its quality
- Always use a clean, dry wooden or ceramic spoon — avoid metal utensils (prolonged metal contact may affect natural activity)
- Shelf life: 3 years (sealed). Once opened, consume within 12 months.
- No refrigeration needed. Cold temperatures may accelerate crystallisation — this is normal and does not affect quality or activity
About Crystallisation: A natural sign of pure, raw honey — completely safe to eat. To reliquefy, place the sealed jar in warm water no hotter than 40°C and stir gently. Never microwave or use boiling water — heat destroys the natural enzymes that make Jarrah honey special.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
+
Can diabetics consume Jarrah Honey?
+
Jarrah Honey has a lower GI than most honeys due to its higher fructose and lower glucose ratio, making it a potentially better natural sweetener choice for those with diabetes or managing blood glucose. Blood sugar rises more slowly and steadily. However, honey still contains natural sugars — consult your doctor or dietitian before regular consumption.
Is it safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
+
Honey is generally considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding adults. However, infants under 12 months must never be given honey due to the risk of infant botulism — their digestive systems are not yet equipped to handle the natural spores found in honey. As with any supplement during pregnancy, consult your healthcare provider first.
Why does honey become thick or grainy?
+
Crystallisation is a completely natural process in raw, pure honey — it is actually a sign of quality and minimal processing. Crystallised honey is entirely safe to eat. To restore to a liquid state, gently warm the sealed jar in water no hotter than 40°C. Never use a microwave or boiling water, as heat above 40°C destroys the natural enzymes that give Jarrah honey its activity.
What is the difference between TA, MGO and UMF?
+
TA (Total Activity) measures the full antimicrobial capability of honey — including the high hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) activity that Jarrah honey is especially rich in, as well as non-peroxide components. MGO (Methylglyoxal) and UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) are Manuka-specific ratings that measure only one non-peroxide compound and are not applicable to Jarrah honey. A TA+20 Jarrah honey offers comparable overall antimicrobial strength to high-grade Manuka honey, through a different and complementary mechanism.
Can children take this product?
+
Children over 12 months of age can safely consume honey. For young children, half a teaspoon is sufficient — introduce slowly and increase gradually. Infants under 12 months must never be given honey under any circumstances.
Can it be taken alongside other MMM supplements?
+
Generally yes — honey as a natural food has no known significant drug interactions. If you are on prescription medication, including blood thinners or immunosuppressants, consult your pharmacist or doctor before adding any new supplement to your routine.
