What reviewers say
Distilled from the video reviewers — the score, what they praise, where they push back.?
Reviewers praise
- Consistent sweet, floral honey taste at lower grades
- Thick, cloudy texture seen as a sign of concentration
- Reviewers say it stays edible for a very long time
Reviewers push back
- Higher grades develop a faint bitter or medicinal aftertaste
- Texture and pour vary noticeably by grade and by how long the jar has been open
- Using metal spoons is said to degrade its antibacterial properties over time
Reviewers agree Comvita's high-grade Manuka honey is thick, sweet, and real, but the higher the grade, the more a faint medicinal bitterness shows up.
One reviewer found the medicinal bitterness minor and worth it for the health benefit; another advised stopping at a mid grade for pleasure eating
