Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 21210), independently tested by AgriTesting in New Zealand, carries a UMF 26.8 rating — a measure of the unique markers that define genuine, high‑potency Mānuka and a simple way to compare quality. The laboratory result shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 1349 mg/kg, an indicator of the honey’s higher antibacterial properties, and Leptosperin at 725 mg/kg, which helps confirm this product truly comes from Mānuka nectar. DHA (the natural precursor compound that can convert into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on the certificate, so we can’t comment on expected changes over time from this report. New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, the UMF licensee, is recognised for careful sourcing and transparent testing, and this certificate underlines that commitment to quality. With an MGO this strong, this jar is well suited to uses that benefit from higher antibacterial properties — for example, robust everyday wellness routines, beauty and skincare applications, or as a premium ingredient in cooking and special preparations where a bold, distinctive Mānuka flavour is wanted.
In short: A premium, high-strength Mānuka honey (UMF 26.8, MGO 1349 mg/kg) from a trusted New Zealand producer and independently tested by AgriTesting.
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.
