This batch (Sample ID D038910) from our Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, has been independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 10.4 — the UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is a recognised grading that reflects the distinctive qualities and overall potency of manuka honey. The laboratory result shows MGO (methylglyoxal) at 279 mg/kg; MGO is the compound commonly used to indicate manuka’s natural antibacterial activity and helps you compare strength between jars. Leptosperin is 292 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. DHA, the naturally occurring precursor that converts to MGO over time, is not listed here but is the chemical pathway behind MGO formation. With an MGO under 500, this honey is excellent for everyday enjoyment — think drizzling on food, baking, adding to drinks, skin-care routines and general daily wellness. You can buy with confidence knowing the product is tested and verified by a reputable New Zealand lab and offered by a trusted producer.
In short: UMF 10.4, MGO 279 mg/kg, Leptosperin 292 mg/kg — a genuine, reliably tested manuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, ideal for daily food and wellness use.
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.
