Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch (Sample ID CSNZ16856) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 10.6. The UMF grade is a recognised measure of Mānuka’s unique properties and overall potency, while the laboratory result of MGO 288 mg/kg indicates the level of methylglyoxal — the compound commonly used as an indicator of antibacterial activity. The certificate also shows Leptosperin 340 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps verify this honey as genuine Mānuka harvested from New Zealand flora. DHA (the natural precursor that converts into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but when reported it helps track how Mānuka will develop over time. With an MGO below 500, this is a great everyday-strength Mānuka for drizzling on food, stirring into drinks, baking, or using in your skincare routine; it offers a reliable, naturally sourced option from a trusted UMF licensee.
In short: A genuine, well-tested UMF 10.6 Mānuka honey (MGO 288, Leptosperin 340) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited and Hill Labs — ideal for everyday use and culinary or skincare favourites.
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.
