Still Australian made and owned Capilano remains 100% pure Australian honey and is Australian made and owned. Some of our longest supplying beekeepers have passed their craft down to their children and grandchildren, who continue to supply their honey to us today!
Based in Wheatvale in Queensland's Southern Downs, the Stevens family are fourth-generation beekeepers who have supplied Capilano for over 60 years. With beekeeping in their blood, David and Rosie involved their sons, Jacob and Connor in the family business from a very young age.
Proudly Australian-owned and grown and celebrating their 60th anniversary in 2013, Capilano uses 100% natural blend Australian honey.
The investigation followed allegations in the media that a number of honey products including Capilano's 'Allowrie' honey, labelled 'pure' and '100% honey' were adulterated with sugar syrup.

Manuka honey is more expensive than most other honey because it is rare and only produced in Australia and New Zealand. The flowers the bees collect the nectar from, to make Manuka honey are from the Leptospermum family, which is native to Australia. Farming Manuka honey costs more to produce than other honeys.
Active Manuka Honey is today prized for its health supporting properties, and widely studied for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory and wound healing effects.
With proper storage (airtight container away from moisture) honey will last indefinitely.
Even though honey doesn't have an expiration date, it can still undergo natural changes. The National Honey Board says that over time honey may “darken and lose its aroma and flavor or crystallize,” depending on changes in temperature.
With nectar collected from so many different flowers and with native plants differing from region to region, it's no wonder honey will taste different and colour will vary. But that's not the only thing that will impact your honey. The thickness of honey can change year to year with the weather.
