Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 537J15) has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 16.9 — the UMF mark is an independent quality rating that represents the unique Mānuka characteristics and overall potency of the honey. The laboratory result shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 629 mg/kg, which is the measure commonly used to indicate the honey’s antibacterial activity. Leptosperin is reported at 640 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps verify this is genuine Mānuka from New Zealand. DHA (the natural precursor to MGO, which can indicate how MGO may develop over time) is not listed on this certificate. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, is a recognised and trusted producer who ensures this batch was independently verified. With a UMF of 16.9 and MGO above 500 mg/kg, this is a higher-strength Mānuka—excellent for beauty and skincare routines, wound care and first-aid style uses, or as a selection for people who prefer stronger Mānuka for gut and immunity-supporting food uses.
In short: Independently tested by Hill Labs, this genuine, high-strength Mānuka (UMF 16.9, MGO 629, Leptosperin 640) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited offers premium potency and verified authenticity.
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.
