This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited carries a strong UMF rating of 24.1, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand (Sample ID: 2240225). UMF is a recognised grade that reflects the unique markers found in manuka honey; one of those markers, Leptosperin, is measured here at 610 mg/kg and helps confirm the honey’s botanical authenticity. The honey’s methylglyoxal (MGO) content is 1,131 mg/kg — MGO is the compound most associated with manuka’s antibacterial activity, so a higher MGO number indicates stronger antibacterial properties. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the floral precursor that converts into MGO as the honey matures, and is worth knowing about when considering how potency develops over time. With these test results, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is offering a high-grade manuka that’s well suited to uses where stronger antibacterial activity is desired, such as advanced skin-care routines, targeted beauty uses, wound care contexts, and products aimed at supporting digestive and immune-related wellness choices. The independent testing by Hill Labs adds extra confidence in quality and authenticity.
In short: UMF 24.1 with MGO 1,131 mg/kg and Leptosperin 610 mg/kg — a high-strength, lab-tested manuka from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, ideal where stronger antibacterial activity is preferred.
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.
