This batch (Sample ID 1150525) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 15.8 — the UMF mark is an independent grading that reflects the unique signature and potency of genuine manuka honey. The Methylglyoxal (MGO) result is 558 mg/kg; MGO is the compound most associated with manuka’s antibacterial strength, so a reading above 500 places this honey in the higher-strength category. Leptosperin is 410 mg/kg, which is a strong botanical marker confirming the honey’s manuka origin. (DHA, the natural precursor that converts to MGO, is not listed on this certificate.) Given its high MGO, this honey is especially well suited to people looking for a robust manuka to use in targeted skincare routines, higher-strength beauty preparations, and for supporting immunity and gut health in daily wellness routines — while lower-MGO grades are often chosen for everyday food, baking and drinks. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has provided a clearly tested, high-grade product you can feel confident about.
In short: UMF 15.8 with MGO 558 and leptosperin 410 mg/kg — a strong, well-tested manuka honey from Hill Labs (New Zealand) ideal for higher-strength uses.

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.
