	Strathdale Honey has achieved BIO-GRO certification from the New Zealand Biological Producers and Consumers Council. The Council certifies that the honey is organic and has met the rigorous and extensive monitoring and testing criteria of the organisation. These criteria include: Documentation of and consultation with every land user within a five kilometre radius of the organic hives to ensure that they remain free of chemical residue; Regular analysis and testing of honey samples by the New Zealand Ministry of Agriculture; Prevention of hives being fed with non-organic honey, sugar, or antibiotics. More information about organic certification can be found on BIO-GRO's website at http://www.biogro.co.nz.	Top
	The secret to Strathdale Clover Honey's smooth texture, delicate taste and creamy complexion is that unlike other honey products it contains almost 100% clover honey rather than a variable combination of floral sources. This degree of control over their floral source is unique to Strathdale Honey because of the abundance of white clover flowers typical of this wilderness region.
	A unique cold filtering process is used which allows Strathdale Honey to remove impurities whilst retaining the health benefits that are normally reduced during the standard filtering process.
	Strathdale Clover Honey is popular as a healthy breakfast spread and can be used in cooking, hot drinks, as a sweetener, and for medicinal and supplementation purposes.
	Strathdale Clover Honey is a natural product and it is therefore affected by temperature. It is important to note that as temperature becomes hotter the honey becomes softer and as the temperature becomes colder the honey becomes harder. The honey also becomes softer as it matures.	Top
