Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch (Sample ID 8201025) of Mānuka honey was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF 20.8 grade — UMF is a licensed grading that represents the honey’s measured Mānuka potency and quality. The laboratory report shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 884 mg/kg, an indicator of the honey’s higher antibacterial activity; at this strength, the honey is well suited to higher-strength uses such as beauty and skincare, wound care and general wellness routines where stronger Mānuka is preferred. Leptosperin is reported at 580 mg/kg, which is a botanical marker confirming this is genuine Mānuka harvested from native New Zealand sources. DHA (the natural precursor that converts to MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but it’s useful to know conceptually when tracking how Mānuka develops over time. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, has produced a clearly documented, high-strength product you can trust for premium pantry and beauty uses.
In short: A premium, high-strength Mānuka (UMF 20.8, MGO 884 mg/kg) tested by Hill Labs for New Zealand Honey Co. Limited — genuine, potent, and great for higher-strength uses.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.
All testing performed by independent, accredited laboratories.

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.
