This batch from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Sample ID 3011315) carries a UMF grade of 15.2, independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. UMF is a trusted overall grading that reflects the honey’s unique signature components; the lab results show MGO at 525 mg/kg — MGO (methylglyoxal) is the compound most associated with manuka’s antibacterial strength — and Leptosperin at 486 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the natural precursor that converts into MGO over time, so its presence in the honey’s profile is part of how MGO develops (no DHA value is listed on this certificate). With an MGO above 500, this honey sits in the higher-strength range, making it well suited to situations where stronger antibacterial activity is desirable — for example, concentrated wellness routines, immunity-focused use, and higher-strength topical or skincare applications. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited have produced a carefully tested, premium manuka you can buy with confidence.
In short: UMF 15.2, MGO 525 mg/kg, Leptosperin 486 mg/kg — a high-MGO manuka, independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd (New Zealand), ideal for higher-antibacterial uses and concentrated wellness or skincare applications.
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.
