Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Sample ID D032820) carries a UMF grade of 20.9, tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. UMF is a recognised measure of manuka’s unique activity, and the laboratory results show a methylglyoxal (MGO) level of 891 mg/kg — MGO is the compound most directly associated with manuka’s antibacterial potency. The certificate also reports a leptosperin level of 797 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. DHA, the natural precursor that converts into MGO over time, is not listed on this certificate. With an MGO well above 500 mg/kg, this honey sits in the higher-strength range and is commonly chosen by shoppers looking for a robust, high-activity manuka for uses such as gut health support, immune-related routines, and concentrated skin and beauty applications; lower MGO honeys (under ~500 mg/kg) tend to be better for everyday food, baking, drinks and lighter wellness or skincare uses. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited sources and labels this lot carefully, and independent testing by Analytica Laboratories Ltd gives you clear numbers to compare.
In short: UMF 20.9 and MGO 891 (with leptosperin 797) indicate a high-activity, genuine manuka—ideal if you want a strong, high-MGO honey from a trusted New Zealand source.
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.
