This batch (Sample ID 1150623) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 15.9 — UMF is a recognised quality standard that reflects the unique activity of manuka honey. The laboratory measured MGO (methylglyoxal) at 567 mg/kg; MGO is the compound that indicates the honey’s non-peroxide antibacterial strength. DHA, which converts to MGO in the hive, is commonly reported on some certificates but is not listed here. The leptosperin result is 410 mg/kg — leptosperin is a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. Taken together, UMF 15.9 with MGO 567 places this honey in the higher-activity category. That makes it a premium, versatile product for shoppers looking for a stronger manuka for immunity-focused routines, gut health support, beauty and skincare applications, or as a top-tier everyday treat when you want more potency than standard table honeys. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has supplied a carefully tested batch you can trust.
In short: UMF 15.9, MGO 567 mg/kg, leptosperin 410 mg/kg — a high-activity, lab-tested manuka from Hills Lab, New Zealand, ideal for those seeking stronger antibacterial-grade 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.
