Frogmouth Ponds Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey is one of the most distinctive and sought-after honeys in the world — and it can only come from one place on earth. Harvested from bees foraging on the ancient Leatherwood trees (Eucryphia lucida) that flower deep in Tasmania’s UNESCO World Heritage wilderness, this is a honey that carries the character of wild, untouched rainforest in every jar.
Cold extracted to protect its delicate floral compounds, our Leatherwood honey is raw, unblended and proudly Tasmanian. Bold, aromatic and uniquely complex, it’s the honey that converts sceptics and becomes the permanent favourite of everyone who tries it.

Why Tasmanian Leatherwood Honey?
Leatherwood honey is endemic to Tasmania — it cannot be produced anywhere else in the world. The Leatherwood tree grows exclusively in Tasmania’s ancient cool-temperate rainforests, and flowers for only a brief window each summer. This rarity, combined with the pristine wilderness environment, gives Leatherwood honey an extraordinary floral depth and spicy complexity that no other honey can replicate.
What Does Cold Extracted Mean?
Cold extraction means the honey is removed from the comb without the application of heat. Many commercial producers warm their honey to speed up processing — but heat degrades the delicate floral compounds and aromatic properties that make Leatherwood honey so exceptional. Our cold extraction method takes longer, but the result is a honey that tastes exactly as it should: alive, complex and genuinely wild.
How to Use Leatherwood Honey
Leatherwood honey’s bold character makes it a standout ingredient and a show-stopping addition to any table. Here are some of the best ways to enjoy it:
Storage & Handling
Store your Frogmouth Ponds Leatherwood Honey at room temperature, away from direct sunlight. Its bold aromatics are best preserved in a cool, dry pantry. Leatherwood honey is slower to crystallise than many other varieties due to its fructose content, but if it does, simply warm the jar gently in a bowl of warm water and stir. Never microwave or overheat — this is especially important for cold extracted honey, as heat will undo the care taken during processing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Leatherwood honey is produced exclusively from the nectar of Eucryphia lucida — the Leatherwood tree — which grows only in Tasmania’s ancient rainforests. Its bold, spicy-floral flavour and intense aromatics are unlike any other honey in the world. Combined with our cold extraction process, the result is a truly extraordinary product that can only come from Tasmania.
Cold extraction preserves the delicate floral compounds and aromatic oils in Leatherwood honey that heat processing would destroy. It’s a more time-consuming method, but the flavour and aromatic quality of the finished product is significantly superior to conventionally extracted honey.

Leatherwood honey is safe for children over 12 months of age. Honey of any kind should never be given to infants under 12 months due to the risk of infant botulism. Please consult your healthcare professional if you have any concerns about dietary suitability for young children.
Leatherwood honey is naturally slower to crystallise than many other varieties due to its higher fructose content. If it does crystallise, this is a natural process and does not affect quality. Gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm water and stir to return it to a liquid state. Do not boil or microwave.
