Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar of Mānuka honey (batch ID 2NZH18) from trusted UMF Licensee New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd has a UMF grade of 5.7 — the UMF score is an industry standard that reflects the unique Mānuka factor and overall non-peroxide activity that sets genuine Mānuka apart. The laboratory report from Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand shows an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 102 mg/kg, which is the commonly used indicator of antibacterial activity; at this level the honey is well suited to everyday uses like food, baking, drinks and skincare. The certificate also records Leptosperin at 340 mg/kg, a botanical marker that confirms this honey is authentic Mānuka from New Zealand flora. DHA, the natural precursor that gradually converts into MGO as honey matures, is not listed on this certificate. Independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd, this product combines verified authenticity and mild potency from a reputable New Zealand producer, making it a versatile pantry staple for daily wellness and culinary enjoyment.
In short: A genuine, low‑strength Mānuka (UMF 5.7, MGO 102) from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd — ideal for everyday food, drinks, baking and skincare.
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.
