Sample ID 1200225 from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. The certificate shows a UMF grade of 21.1 — UMF is a recognised grading that reflects the unique non-peroxide activity of manuka honey — and an MGO (methylglyoxal) measurement of 907 mg/kg. MGO is the compound most closely associated with manuka’s distinctive antibacterial strength; higher MGO numbers indicate stronger antibacterial activity. Leptosperin, the botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka, was measured at 490 mg/kg, which supports the honey’s authenticity. DHA, the floral precursor that converts into MGO over time, was not reported on this certificate. With MGO above 500, this is a higher-strength manuka well suited to targeted uses where stronger antibacterial properties are desired (for example, certain gut, immunity-focused or advanced skin and beauty applications), while lower-MGO manuka is typically chosen for everyday food, baking, drinks and general skincare. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited offers a high-grade, lab-verified product you can buy with confidence.
In short: UMF 21.1, MGO 907 mg/kg, Leptosperin 490 mg/kg — a high-strength, lab-tested manuka from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (tested by Hill Labs, New Zealand).

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.
