Not only Winnie The Pooh, but also I love honey! Honey is the most wanted item that people are looking for today as its benefit is compelling to boost your immunity. We already know that honey has an assuredly sweet taste, but who knows that there are many types of honey—and each one has a unique flavor, texture, and aroma.

Now, The S Media wants to invite you to explore the characterization of Indonesia wild honey and its potential for authentication and origin distinction.

Kelulut honey

Kelulut honey bee farms have become an essential means of income for a few communities in Riau, contributing to the local economy in the province. Produced by Trigona stingless bees, which are commonly found in forests in Indonesia, Kelulut honey has a taste that is different from regular honey. 

It's black and has a sweet taste mixed with a hint of sourness. It has many benefits for the body, like curing chronic disease, anti-cancer, diabetes, healing wound, and fertility problems. 

Sumatra raw forest honey

Raw unprocessed wild forest honey, sustainably harvested by the indigenous Melayu and Mandahiling communities in the Tesso Nilo National Park in Sumatra, Indonesia.

The taste is rich, dark, and very intense, with  100% raw and unheated. As a result, our honey retains all of nature's goodness: pollen, enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, propolis, minerals, and its natural flavor. These are good to boost your immunity.

Rambutan honey

Javara Pure Raw Honey Rambutan Blossom is collected naturally by the honey bees from the blossom nectar of Rambutan Trees grown in the central region of Java Island. It has a smooth texture with fruity notes. It is a preferred choice to combine with other ingredients or enjoy straight from the jar or mixed with water and ice for a refreshing drink.

Timor forest honey 

Honey is produced in Timor Island, East Nusa Tenggara, bought at a better price to help giving farmers a better life. Honey is locally produced using only traditional processes that do not harm mother earth and respect local wisdom.  The taste is uniquely distinctive, coming from wild bees sucking endemic nectars of sandalwood, eucalyptus, vanilla, coffee, jackfruit, and walnuts. 

Sumbawa forest honey

The indigenous Samawa communities in the Batudulang Highlands of Sumbawa, Indonesia, sustainably harvest raw, unprocessed wild forest. It’s caramel and nutty notes, well-balanced. The result is perfect because it consists of pollen, enzymes, vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants, propolis, minerals, and its natural flavor.
