This certificate shows a high-strength manuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand (Sample ID 1240623). It carries a UMF grade of 24, which indicates strong non-peroxide activity and is a recognised way to compare manuka potency. The laboratory result lists MGO (methylglyoxal) at 1,122 mg/kg — MGO is the compound most often used to indicate manuka’s antibacterial strength. DHA, the floral precursor that converts to MGO during maturation, is not shown on this certificate. Leptosperin is reported at 830 mg/kg; this botanical marker helps confirm the honey is genuine manuka. With MGO well above 500 mg/kg and a UMF of 24, this batch is in the higher-strength category that people typically choose for targeted skincare, beauty routines, immunity-supporting wellness choices and situations where a stronger antibacterial rating is preferred. The Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, has provided clear, independently verified results from Hills Lab so shoppers can buy with confidence.
In short: UMF 24 with MGO 1,122 mg/kg and Leptosperin 830 mg/kg — a high-strength, lab-tested manuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, well-suited for higher-antibacterial uses and premium wellness or beauty applications.

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.
