Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar of Mānuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd has been independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand (sample ID 20NZH14) and carries a UMF grade of 20.3. The UMF grade is an independent rating that reflects the distinctive non‑peroxide activity associated with genuine Mānuka honey — a helpful guide to strength and quality. The laboratory result shows a Methylglyoxal (MGO) level of 853 mg/kg, an indicator of higher antibacterial activity; honeys at this strength are typically suited to gut health, immunity, beauty, wound care and skincare uses where stronger activity is preferred. The Leptosperin level of 1470 mg/kg is the botanical marker that confirms this is authentic Mānuka sourced from New Zealand flora. This certificate does not list a DHA value; DHA is the natural precursor that develops into MGO as honey matures, so some producers include it to show how the honey may change over time. Overall, the combination of a solid UMF grade, high MGO and strong Leptosperin demonstrates careful sourcing and rigorous testing by a trusted lab and brand.
In short: A high‑strength, well‑verified Mānuka honey (UMF 20.3 / MGO 853) from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd for authenticity and potency.
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.
