Since the efficacy and medicinal properties of Manuka honey came to light, the world is clamouring for originality and a product with the mark of authentication. J. Friend and Co is a New Zealand Artisan honey manufacturing company that prides itself on delivering nature in its raw and unchanged state to your doorsteps.

Unlike most stories, J.Friend was borne out of their passion for wanting people – the world to taste honey – the Manuka honey in its purest form. What started in 2008 as a desire was to restore the integrity of honey, dignify the art of beekeeping and beekeepers are now a booming business.

Today, they have delivered on their promise. After 22 years of running the hills of New Zealand’s South Island, J.Friend has not compromised on the quality or taste of their honey or honey-based products. Despite being so long in the business, they are still a small, tight-knitted group producing honey for the few that seek originality.

J.Friend Honey Products

Each canister of J.Friend honey product is filled with love and nature’s taste. The company has stuck with packing unpasteurised, pure, and raw honey that retains its properties to the highest standards.

Whether it is a Manuka premium grade honey or a jar filled with the refined taste of New Zealand’s flavour, you cannot go wrong with a J.Friend product.   If you want to know MORE about Manuka Honey, read our full article here

With over 14 products, including some of the world’s top-grade Manuka honey, they have set the standard for others to follow.

Why a J.Friend Product?

While each bottle of J.Friend can be traced back to the farm that packaged it, they are also the first honey producing company to receive the carbon-neutral status. Furthermore, no bottle contains a mixture of two kinds of honey or from two regions, nor is it filtered. With a J.Friend, you will likely see some honeycomb in your jar.

Asides from their Manuka honey with its intense, rich, caramel, and coconut flavor, most products have the UMF 5+/MGO 83+ and UMF 10+ MGO 240+ symbol of authentication on them. They have honey in the following varieties of New Zealand honeys (many of which are indigenous!)

Beechwood Honeydew

Kamahi

Pohutakawa

Lavender

Viper Bugloss

Wild Thyme

White Clover

Northern Rata

Rewarewa

Besides these flavours, J.Friend also makes sample bottle packs for customers who would like to gift their product, honey that pair with cheeses and toast too.

They also have packed fresh honeycomb, hazelnut and honey jar, bee pollens, and syrup made with ginger, lemon, and honey.
