Australian Leatherwood, Eucryphia Lucida produces the unique Leatherwood Honey. Bees produce this from the nectar of the Tasmanian Leatherwood flowers. The Leatherwood is endemic to Tasmania, Australian. Leatherwood is the single most important nectar plant in Tasmania accounting for about 70% of all honey produced. Unblended Leatherwood honey has a unique taste and smell which is quite different from that of blended honey and to many people consider it an acquired taste. This distinctive spicy flavour has made Leatherwood honey a reputation as a fine gourmet product both in Australia and overseas.
