Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch (Sample ID 1100225) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has a UMF grade of 10.4 and an MGO level of 278 mg/kg, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. UMF is the industry grading that reflects the unique non-peroxide activity found in manuka honey; MGO (methylglyoxal) is the compound most closely associated with that antibacterial activity and gives a practical sense of strength. DHA, the natural precursor to MGO that develops as honey matures, is not listed on this certificate but is the factor that helps explain how MGO levels can increase over time. The leptosperin result of 340 mg/kg confirms the botanical origin as genuine manuka, which supports the authenticity of the UMF grade and MGO reading. With an MGO below 500, this honey is especially well suited to everyday uses — enjoying on toast, in baking and drinks, or as part of your skincare and wellness routine — while still carrying the recognised manuka characteristics that the Licensee consistently delivers.
In short: UMF 10.4 with MGO 278 mg/kg and leptosperin 340 mg/kg — a genuine, mid‑strength manuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, tested by Hill Labs (New Zealand), ideal for food, daily wellness and skincare.
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.
