Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch (Sample ID 1200623) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has a UMF grade of 20.5 and an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 861 mg/kg, independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand. UMF is the established grading that reflects manuka’s non-peroxide activity and overall quality; the MGO number is the specific compound largely responsible for that antibacterial activity. The laboratory also reports leptosperin at 560 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. DHA, a natural precursor found in manuka nectar, converts over time into MGO, which is why both freshness and storage matter for potency. With MGO above 500, this honey is best suited where stronger antibacterial properties are preferred — for example, advanced beauty and skin-care formulations, higher-strength wellness preparations and other applications that benefit from a robust antibacterial rating. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited sources and labels this premium batch carefully, and independent testing at Hills Lab gives you confidence in the reported numbers.
In short: UMF 20.5 with MGO 861 and leptosperin 560 — a high‑potency, genuine manuka honey (Hills Lab, New Zealand) ideal for uses that call for strong antibacterial activity.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.

Mānuka Honey FAQ
Why is this honey so expensive?
It’s harvested in remote areas of New Zealand and undergoes rigorous independent testing for quality, purity, and potency — all of which adds cost. Rarity and global demand also play a role.
The colour of my honey looks different. Why?
Colour can vary naturally by batch and region. It doesn’t indicate strength or efficacy; a high-MGO honey can be light, and a lower-MGO honey can be dark and visa-versa.
My honey is too hard/runny. What’s wrong?
Temperature affects viscosity. To soften, leave it somewhere warm. To firm, chill in the fridge briefly.
This Mānuka Honey tastes bitter — is it off?
High-grade Mānuka can taste bold or slightly bitter due to potent bioactive compounds. Honey doesn’t spoil in the usual sense; gentle warming can reverse crystallisation.
How is Mānuka honey different from regular honey?
Mānuka contains higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO) and carries a UMF™ rating based on independent lab tests of key markers.
New Zealand Honey Co. is committed to complete transparency. Sourced from hives across New Zealand’s rugged, untouched landscapes, the honey is UMF™ certified, fully traceable back to the hive, and free from GMOs, glyphosate residue, antibiotics, or additives.
The company follows a simple principle: nature is best preserved in its purest form.
