The wild thyme was first planted by gold miners in the 1860s, and today, that’s the real treasure left in the valley. It’s rugged, sunny, and tastes exactly like a Central Otago summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eThe Legacy:\u003c\/b\u003e High in the rocky hills of Central Otago, the landscape is defined by the \"historical grit\" of the 19th-century gold rush. Our hives sit in this untamed, arid environment where the intense Southern sun concentrates the essential oils within the thyme blossoms, capturing over 160 years of botanical history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003eWhy It’s Unique: \u003c\/b\u003eSavoury with an \"Edge\" Gibbston Valley Thyme stands in stark contrast to traditional sugary honeys. Because it thrives in a harsh, dry climate, the nectar is exceptionally concentrated, making it savoury rather than just sweet. It is an assertive and aromatic honey with a deep, medicinal soul.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect Pairings\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,0,0\"\u003eCheese:\u003c\/b\u003e Exceptional when paired with \"vocal\" cheeses like sharp, aged cheddar or a pungent, creamy blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,1,0\"\u003eCooking:\u003c\/b\u003e An unrivaled glaze for roasted meats—particularly Central Otago lamb—or roasted root vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"7,2,0\"\u003eSimple Joy:\u003c\/b\u003e Spread over a thick slice of crusty sourdough to let the savoury, herbal notes truly sing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAt a Glance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"\u003eStatus:\u003c\/b\u003e Raw, Unprocessed \u0026amp; Wild-Harvested\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"\u003eSpirit:\u003c\/b\u003e Sun-drenched, Savoury \u0026amp; Historical\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/b\u003e Gibbston Valley, Queenstown, NZ\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Be Local","offers":[{"title":"80g","offer_id":53300310835531,"sku":"BLGVTHY-80","price":7.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"300g","offer_id":53300310868299,"sku":"BLGVTHY-300","price":13.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1kg","offer_id":56015884222795,"sku":"BLGVTHY-1KG","price":25.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5kg","offer_id":56015884255563,"sku":"BLGVTHY-5KG","price":100.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0952\/1424\/0075\/files\/WhatsApp_Image_2026-05-06_at_18.42.37.jpg?v=1778064198","url":"https:\/\/belocal.co.nz\/products\/gibbston-valley-thyme-honey","provider":"Be Local","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
