This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited carries a very high UMF grade of 24.7, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand (Sample ID: 1240524). The laboratory report shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 1,177 mg/kg — MGO is the compound used to indicate the strength of manuka’s non-peroxide antibacterial activity, so a higher MGO number means a noticeably stronger antibacterial rating. Leptosperin is measured at 500 mg/kg, which is a solid botanical marker confirming genuine manuka origin. DHA (the natural precursor that converts into MGO) is not reported on this certificate. Given the MGO sits well above 500 mg/kg, this honey is best appreciated where a higher antibacterial rating is valued — as a premium ingredient in concentrated skincare and beauty formulations, for targeted wellness routines, or by shoppers who want a particularly potent manuka to use sparingly in foods and drinks. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited have provided a clearly tested, high-grade product backed by an established independent lab.
In short: UMF 24.7 / MGO 1,177 mg/kg — a high-strength, lab-tested manuka (Leptosperin 500 mg/kg) from Hill Labs, New Zealand, ideal for those seeking a potent, premium manuka honey.

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.
