This batch (Sample ID 1200323) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 20.3. UMF is a licensed grading that reflects manuka’s unique activity; here it aligns with a high MGO reading of 847 mg/kg — MGO (methylglyoxal) is the compound commonly used to indicate manuka’s antibacterial potency. Leptosperin is 630 mg/kg, a botanical marker that supports the authenticity of the manuka origin. DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the natural precursor that forms MGO in the hive, is not shown on this certificate. With an MGO well above 500 mg/kg, this honey sits in the higher-strength category and is especially well suited to applications where stronger antibacterial properties are preferred — for example, focused gut health and immunity routines, beauty and skincare formulations, or specialised topical uses. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited sources and tests carefully, and this certificate from Hills Lab gives clear, independent confirmation of the jar’s quality and origin.
In short: UMF 20.3, MGO 847 mg/kg, Leptosperin 630 mg/kg — a high-strength, authentic manuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, tested by Hills Lab (New Zealand).
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.
