This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 21206) from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd carries a UMF 24 grade — the UMF label represents independently verified Mānuka-specific markers and an overall measure of quality and potency. Hill Laboratories in New Zealand measured the Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 1125 mg/kg; MGO is the chemical indicator commonly used to describe antibacterial activity, and at this level the honey is classed as higher-strength. Leptosperin was measured at 780 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm the honey’s genuine Mānuka origin. DHA (the floral precursor that converts into MGO over time) is not shown on this certificate but is often included on full lab reports. New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd are a trusted UMF licensee known for traceability and quality, and this independent lab test confirms both strength and authenticity for this batch. Given the high MGO, this jar is especially suited to higher-strength uses often associated with Mānuka — gut health and immunity support, beauty and skincare routines, and wound-care or topical uses — while remaining excellent for everyday enjoyment and culinary uses.
In short: A premium, high-strength Mānuka (UMF 24) with MGO 1125 mg/kg and strong Leptosperin verification, independently tested by Hill Laboratories in New Zealand and offered by New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd.
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.
