Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch (Sample ID 19NZH12) from UMF Licensee New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd has been independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 24.6. The UMF grade is a recognised measure of Mānuka’s unique, non-peroxide bioactivity and overall signature strength; a higher UMF indicates stronger activity associated with genuine Mānuka compounds. The lab result shows an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 1170 mg/kg — a high MGO that consumers often choose for stronger antibacterial properties and for uses where higher potency is preferred. Leptosperin is reported at 1630 mg/kg, which is the botanical marker used to verify authentic Mānuka sourced from New Zealand flora. A DHA value is not shown on this certificate; DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the natural precursor that converts to MGO over time, so when present it helps indicate how the honey may mature. Overall, this is a premium, high-strength Mānuka honey from a trusted licence holder and independent New Zealand testing, well suited to higher-strength uses such as gut health support, immunity support, beauty and skincare routines, and wound-care-related topical uses commonly recommended for high-MGO honeys.
In short: UMF 24.6 / MGO 1170 — a high-strength, independently tested Mānuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd and Analytica Laboratories Ltd, verified by strong Leptosperin levels.
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.
