Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (sample ID 1100525) carries a UMF grade of 10.4, independently verified by Hill Labs in New Zealand. UMF is a recognised grading that reflects the unique manuka factors in the honey — with MGO (methylglyoxal) being the compound most closely linked to that activity. This batch shows MGO at 281 mg/kg, a level that suits everyday uses such as food, baking, drinks, general wellness and skincare. Leptosperin is measured at 270 mg/kg, which is the botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. DHA (the nectar compound that converts into MGO over time) is not listed on this certificate, so no DHA value is reported here. Overall, the independent Hill Labs result gives you confidence in both authenticity and activity, and New Zealand Honey Co. Limited continues to offer reliably tested manuka for daily enjoyment and care.
In short: UMF 10.4 with MGO 281 mg/kg and leptosperin 270 mg/kg (tested by Hill Labs, New Zealand) — great for everyday food, wellness, baking and skincare.

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.
