This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd (Sample ID: UMF 15+B:064182P) carries a UMF grade of 16.6 — a recognised measure of the unique Mānuka factors that indicate overall potency and quality. The laboratory report from Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 609 mg/kg, which is the key indicator commonly used to express the honey’s antibacterial activity; at this level the honey is considered higher-strength and is often chosen for gut health, immunity support, beauty, wound care and skincare uses. The certificate also reports Leptosperin at 559 mg/kg, the botanical marker that helps confirm this is genuine Mānuka honey. DHA (the natural precursor that converts to MGO as honey ages) is not listed on this certificate. New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd is a reputable UMF licensee and Analytica Laboratories Ltd is a trusted independent testing lab, so you can feel confident in the testing and provenance behind this batch.
In short: A genuine, higher-strength Mānuka honey (UMF 16.6, MGO 609 mg/kg) from a trusted New Zealand producer and lab — great for higher-strength everyday and beauty 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.
