Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey, batch 21207, was independently tested by Hill Laboratories in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 26.1. The UMF grade is an independent measure of the honey’s unique Mānuka factor — a recognised indicator of overall non-peroxide activity and quality. The laboratory result shows an MGO (methylglyoxal) content of 1293 mg/kg, which is the chemical indicator commonly used to express antibacterial activity in Mānuka honey. Leptosperin is measured at 1560 mg/kg, serving as a botanical marker that confirms this is genuine Mānuka honey from New Zealand. DHA is not listed on this certificate; conceptually, DHA is the natural precursor to MGO and can indicate how the honey may continue to mature over time. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, is a respected producer and this certificate shows their commitment to transparency and quality.
In short: A very high-strength, independently tested Mānuka (UMF 26.1, MGO 1293 mg/kg) from New Zealand — ideal for those seeking premium Mānuka for beauty, skincare, immunity-supportive routines and other high-strength uses, while also excellent as a tasty, high-quality pantry favourite.
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.
