This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is a high-strength, lab-tested manuka with a UMF grade of 25 — a recognised measure of manuka’s non-peroxide activity and quality. The certificate from Hill Labs (New Zealand) shows MGO at 1,199 mg/kg, which indicates a strong antibacterial rating compared with everyday table honeys; higher MGO values are often chosen where a more powerful antibacterial profile is desired, such as advanced skincare or beauty routines and other uses where robust activity is valued. Leptosperin is reported at 610 mg/kg, confirming the honey’s botanical origin as genuine manuka. DHA, the floral compound that converts into MGO as honey matures, is not listed on this certificate but is the natural precursor to the MGO number you see. Sample ID MM300/24 ties these results to this specific batch. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited offers this well-characterised, premium manuka that’s ideal for customers seeking a reliably high-strength product backed by independent testing.
In short: UMF 25, MGO 1199 mg/kg, Leptosperin 610 mg/kg — a high-strength, lab-tested manuka from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (tested by Hill Labs, New Zealand; Sample MM300/24).

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.
