This certificate (sample ID 1240824) from Hill Labs, New Zealand, shows a UMF grade of 24.5 with MGO at 1,164 mg/kg and leptosperin at 560 mg/kg for New Zealand Honey Co. Limited. UMF is a recognised grading that reflects the unique manuka factors and non‑peroxide antibacterial potency; MGO is the chemical marker that indicates that strength, while DHA is the natural precursor that converts into MGO in the hive. Leptosperin is a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. With an MGO above 500, this is a high‑strength, premium manuka honey that many people choose when they want a robust antibacterial profile for stronger topical beauty and skincare uses, or as a higher‑strength option in wellness routines—perfect for consumers looking for a concentrated, high‑grade product from a trusted producer. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited’s lab‑tested batch gives clear, independently verified results you can rely on.
In short: UMF 24.5 / MGO 1,164 (high strength), leptosperin 560 mg/kg — a premium, high‑strength manuka from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, independently tested by Hill Labs (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.
