Wescobee is proud to announce that its iconic Western Australian Jarrah Honey has been awarded Gold Medal and Grand Champion status at the prestigious 2026 Sydney Royal Easter Show National Honey Competition.
Recognised as one of Australia’s most respected honey competitions, the Sydney Royal National Honey Show brings together the country’s finest honey producers, with entries assessed against rigorous standards including flavour, aroma, density, colour and overall quality.
For Wescobee, this achievement marks another sweet milestone in a long and celebrated history at the Sydney Royal Easter Show. Wescobee’s Jarrah Honey has also consistently impressed judges, previously receiving Bronze Medal recognition in previous years before now, reaching the top of the podium.
Celebrating One of Western Australia’s Greatest Natural Treasures
Found only in the south-west of Western Australia, Jarrah Honey is produced when bees forage on the blossoms of the majestic Jarrah tree (Eucalyptus marginata). The towering Jarrah forests are unique to WA and are renowned for producing one of the world’s most distinctive honey varieties.
Prized for its rich amber colour and full-bodied flavour, Jarrah Honey offers a smooth taste profile with subtle caramel notes and a lingering finish that has made it a favourite among honey lovers both in Australia and around the world.
Every jar of Wescobee Jarrah Honey is sourced from trusted Western Australian beekeeping families and is independently audited to ensure authenticity and traceability, guaranteeing consumers receive genuine Certified Jarrah Honey.
Supporting Local Through “Buy West, Eat Best”
This latest award is not only a win for Wescobee, but a win for Western Australian agriculture, regional beekeeping families and the unique landscapes that make WA honey so special.
For nearly a century, Wescobee has proudly partnered with local beekeepers to bring pure Australian honey to households across the country. Founded from the vision of Western Australian beekeepers working together to market their honey, Wescobee remains one of Australia’s oldest and most trusted honey brands.
The Gold and Grand Champion recognition reinforces the value of supporting local producers and aligns perfectly with the spirit of the Buy West, Eat Best movement, encouraging consumers to choose quality Western Australian products that support local jobs, regional communities and sustainable food production.
A Sweet Achievement Shared by Many
Wescobee’s success is a testament to the dedication of its beekeeping partners, whose passion and expertise help produce some of the purest honey in the world. It also reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to quality, authenticity and showcasing the very best of Western Australian honey on the national stage.
As Australians continue to seek trusted, locally produced food, this Grand Champion win serves as a reminder that some of the country’s finest products are found right here in Western Australia.
