Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch (Sample ID 4151223) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand and carries a UMF 16.1 rating — the UMF grade is a recognised measure of Mānuka’s unique signature compounds and overall quality. The laboratory results show an MGO of 581 mg/kg, which is an indicator of stronger antibacterial activity compared with lower-strength Mānuka, and a Leptosperin level of 570 mg/kg, which helps confirm the honey’s botanical authenticity as genuine Mānuka. DHA, the natural precursor that can convert into MGO as honey matures, is not listed on this certificate but is the compound that initially leads to MGO development in the hive. With a UMF in the mid‑teens and MGO above 500 mg/kg, this honey is well suited to uses where higher-strength Mānuka is preferred — such as supporting daily wellness routines, beauty and skincare preparations, or as a premium ingredient in recipes and topical care. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited and Hills Lab together offer a clear, traceable test result you can rely on.
In short: UMF 16.1, MGO 581 mg/kg and verified Leptosperin — a genuine, higher‑strength Mānuka honey from a trusted New Zealand tester and licencee.
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.
