Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 601115) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 15.6 — UMF is a standardised grading that represents the unique strength and non-peroxide activity of genuine Mānuka honey so you can compare potency between batches. The laboratory result shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 549 mg/kg, an indicator linked with Mānuka’s distinctive antibacterial activity; at 549 mg/kg this sits in the higher-strength range (≥500). Leptosperin is measured at 580 mg/kg, a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity as true Mānuka. DHA is not listed on this certificate; conceptually DHA is the natural precursor that can convert into MGO as honey matures, so some producers also report it to show how the honey may evolve. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is a recognised UMF Licensee, and testing by Hill Labs gives clear, traceable results you can trust. With UMF 15.6 and MGO 549, this jar is well suited to higher-strength uses such as gut and immunity-supporting routines, beauty and skincare applications, wound-care-related uses, and for those who prefer a more potent Mānuka for culinary or everyday wellness purposes.
In short: A genuine, higher-strength Mānuka honey (UMF 15.6, MGO 549, Leptosperin 580 mg/kg) tested by Hill Labs and offered by New Zealand Honey Co. Limited — a versatile, premium choice for higher-strength and everyday 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.
