This batch (Sample ID 3042J20) 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 21.8 — a high UMF that reflects strength and authenticity — and an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 953 mg/kg. MGO is the compound used to indicate manuka’s non-peroxide antibacterial activity, and DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the natural precursor that converts into MGO in the hive. Leptosperin is measured at 805 mg/kg; this botanical marker helps confirm genuine manuka origin. Together these numbers tell you this is a robust, well-characterised manuka honey: the UMF confirms overall quality and grading, MGO shows the honey’s high antibacterial rating, and leptosperin supports its botanical authenticity. For shoppers, that means this jar is a premium, lab-verified product from a trusted New Zealand producer — great for applications where higher MGO is preferred, such as advanced skincare and beauty routines, immunity-supporting pantry choices, or other uses where a stronger-rated manuka is desired.
In short: UMF 21.8, MGO 953 mg/kg and leptosperin 805 mg/kg — a high-strength, lab-tested New Zealand manuka from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd, well suited where higher MGO is preferred.
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.
