This batch (Sample ID 1200423) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 20.3. UMF is an independent quality grade that reflects manuka’s unique activity; it helps shoppers compare strength between products. The laboratory measured Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 850 mg/kg — MGO is the compound most often used to indicate the honey’s antibacterial-associated potency — and Leptosperin at 680 mg/kg, which is a botanical marker confirming genuine manuka origin. DHA, the natural precursor to MGO that forms as the honey matures, is part of how MGO levels develop and is routinely considered in quality assessment. With MGO at 850 (well above 500) and UMF 20.3, this is a high-strength manuka that many customers prefer when stronger antibacterial properties are desired — popular for targeted wellness and topical beauty or skin-care routines. For everyday food, baking, drinks and general wellness, lower MGO grades (<500) tend to be the better match. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited have provided a clearly tested, premium product you can buy with confidence.
In short: UMF 20.3, MGO 850 mg/kg, Leptosperin 680 mg/kg — a high-strength, independently tested manuka from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Hills Lab, New Zealand).

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.
