Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar is a nicely balanced Mānuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand (Sample ID 603110A). It carries a UMF 10.9 rating — the UMF (Unique Mānuka Factor) grade is a recognised measure of overall Mānuka quality and the presence of signature markers used to certify potency. The laboratory results show an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 305 mg/kg, which is the commonly used indicator of the honey’s non-peroxide antibacterial activity; with MGO under 500 mg/kg this honey is best suited to everyday uses. Leptosperin is reported at 330 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps verify this as genuine Mānuka from New Zealand flora. DHA (the natural precursor that develops into MGO over time) is not listed on this certificate, so there’s no DHA value to report here. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited are the UMF licensee named on the certificate — a trusted brand taking the extra step to have their honey independently checked.
In short: A genuine, lower‑strength UMF 10.9 Mānuka honey (MGO 305) from a trusted New Zealand producer — ideal for food, drinks, baking, everyday wellness and skincare.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.
All testing performed by independent, accredited laboratories.

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.
