Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey, produced and sold by New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd and independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand (sample ID UMF 10+B:304174L), carries a UMF grade of 11.7. UMF is a recognised grading that reflects the unique Mānuka signature and overall quality of the jar. The certificate shows an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 341 mg/kg — MGO is the compound commonly used as an indicator of antibacterial activity, and this level places the honey in the everyday-to-premium range. Leptosperin is reported at 402 mg/kg, which is a botanical marker used to verify genuine Mānuka origin. DHA (the natural precursor that converts into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but it is the compound that supports MGO development over time. With this MGO level, the honey is especially well suited to food, everyday wellness, baking, drinks and skincare, offering a reliably authentic Mānuka flavour and quality from a trusted New Zealand licencee and lab.
In short: A genuine, UMF 11.7 Mānuka honey (MGO 341 mg/kg, Leptosperin 402 mg/kg) — excellent for daily use, food and skincare from a respected New Zealand producer and lab.
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.
