This batch (Sample ID 1200524) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. The honey carries a UMF grade of 20.6 — a high UMF that reflects notable non-peroxide activity often sought in premium manuka. The laboratory measured Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 874 mg/kg; MGO is the compound most commonly used to indicate manuka’s antibacterial strength, and at this level it sits well above the 500 mg/kg mark often chosen for targeted skin, beauty, immune-support routines and wound-care applications. Leptosperin, measured at 470 mg/kg, is a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity as genuine manuka. DHA, the natural precursor that converts into MGO as the honey matures, was not reported on this certificate. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited markets this very robust, lab-tested honey responsibly, making it a confident choice for shoppers wanting a high-strength manuka product backed by an independent New Zealand laboratory.
In short: UMF 20.6, MGO 874 mg/kg and Leptosperin 470 mg/kg — a high-strength, independently tested manuka ideal for uses that benefit from stronger antibacterial activity.
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.
