Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch of Mānuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand (Sample ID 1101025) and carries a UMF 11 grade — a recognised measure of the honey’s unique Mānuka factor and overall non-peroxide activity that helps distinguish genuine, higher-quality Mānuka honey. The laboratory results show MGO (methylglyoxal) at 307 mg/kg, which is the chemical indicator commonly used to express antibacterial activity levels; at this MGO range the honey is well suited to everyday uses such as food, baking, drinks, and skincare. Leptosperin is reported at 230 mg/kg, which is a botanical marker confirming this is genuine Mānuka harvested from native New Zealand flora. DHA (the natural precursor that converts to MGO as honey matures) isn’t listed on this certificate, but conceptually it’s the compound that helps MGO develop over time. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited are careful producers and choosing a UMF-certified product tested by Hill Labs gives you confidence in purity and consistent quality.
In short: A trusted UMF 11 Mānuka honey (MGO 307 mg/kg) — great for everyday use, flavourful cooking, and skincare, with lab-verified authenticity.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.
All testing performed by independent, accredited laboratories.

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.
