Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has a very high UMF grade of 30.1 — the UMF mark is an independent grading that represents the honey’s unique, non-peroxide potency and overall quality. The laboratory results from Hill Labs (New Zealand) show an MGO of 1631 mg/kg, which is the chemical indicator commonly used to express antibacterial activity; that level places this honey well into the higher-strength category, suited to uses where stronger natural activity is preferred. The certificate also reports Leptosperin at 400 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps verify this is genuine Mānuka harvested from native sources. DHA (the floral precursor that converts into MGO over time) is not listed on this certificate, so no DHA value is shown here. Sample ID 1301225 confirms this specific batch was independently tested. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited have a strong reputation for transparent sourcing and testing, and using Hill Labs adds further confidence in the results. For shoppers, this is a premium, high-strength Mānuka ideal for beauty and skincare routines, daily wellness where higher activity is preferred, and general uses that call for a robust, genuine Mānuka honey.
In short: A genuine, high-strength Mānuka (UMF 30.1, MGO 1631 mg/kg) from a trusted licencee and independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand.
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.
