This batch (Sample ID 2201124) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 20.3 — the UMF number reflects the unique non‑peroxide activity associated with manuka honey and is a simple way to compare overall potency. The lab measured Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 851 mg/kg; MGO is the key marker linked to manuka’s stronger antibacterial characteristics, so a reading this high places the honey in the higher‑strength category. DHA, the natural precursor that converts to MGO in the hive, is not listed on this certificate. Leptosperin is reported at 510 mg/kg, which is a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. With a UMF 20+ and MGO above 500, this honey is well suited to uses where higher antibacterial properties are preferred — think targeted beauty and skin care applications, wound care contexts, and when you want a potent manuka for immunity or gut‑related wellness routines — while still being a premium ingredient for special foods and drinks. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited have clearly invested in independent testing to guarantee quality.
In short: UMF 20.3, MGO 851 mg/kg, Leptosperin 510 mg/kg — a high‑strength, independently tested manuka from Hill Labs (New Zealand), ideal where stronger antibacterial properties are preferred.

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.
