This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd (sample ID 20NZH10) has been independently tested by Gribbles LABNET in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 24.7. UMF (Unique Mānuka Factor) is an independent grading that represents the honey’s non‑peroxide activity and overall quality, while the reported Methylglyoxal (MGO) of 1178 mg/kg is a direct indicator of the honey’s higher antibacterial activity — a level that places it in the higher‑strength category. The Leptosperin result of 1493 mg/kg confirms the botanical authenticity of this Mānuka as originating from native New Zealand sources. DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the natural precursor that converts into MGO over time, is not shown on this certificate but is the component that influences MGO development in storage and maturation. As a high‑strength Mānuka, this honey is popular for beauty and skincare routines, targeted daily wellness use, and contexts where higher antibacterial activity is desired; many shoppers reserve stronger jars like this for small daily servings, topical beauty use or first‑aid/skincare applications and use lower‑MGO Mānuka for baking, drinks and everyday meals. New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd’s UMF licensing and Gribbles LABNET testing give extra confidence in quality and authenticity.
In short: A premium, high‑strength Mānuka (UMF 24.7, MGO 1178 mg/kg) verified for authenticity and quality by Gribbles LABNET — ideal for higher‑strength, targeted uses.
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.
