This certificate shows a UMF 30 rating from independent testing by Hill Labs in New Zealand for sample ID 1300424, supplied by New Zealand Honey Co. Limited. UMF 30 tells you this is a very high-grade manuka honey — the UMF grade is an overall quality marker that reflects the honey’s unique natural chemistry. The lab found MGO (methylglyoxal) at 1,624 mg/kg: MGO is the compound most directly associated with manuka’s antibacterial potency, so a high MGO like this indicates strong activity compared with everyday table honeys. Leptosperin is measured at 730 mg/kg, a botanical marker that supports the honey’s genuine manuka origin. DHA, the floral chemical that converts into MGO over time, isn’t listed on this certificate but is the natural precursor to the MGO reported here. With MGO well above 500 mg/kg, this batch is especially well suited for shoppers looking for potent antibacterial strength in applications such as gut-health and immunity-support routines, concentrated beauty and skin-care formulations, or other uses where higher activity is desired. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited provides a premium, lab-verified product you can rely on.
In short: UMF 30 manuka (MGO 1624 mg/kg, Leptosperin 730 mg/kg) — a very high-strength, lab-tested honey from Hill Labs, New Zealand, ideal when strong antibacterial activity is wanted.

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.
