This batch (Sample ID 1240923) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited was independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 24.6, which reflects the recognised manuka factors linked with its unique antibacterial strength. The methylglyoxal (MGO) content is 1,169 mg/kg — MGO is the key compound that gives manuka its higher antibacterial activity, while DHA (a natural precursor to MGO) is noted conceptually even though a DHA value isn’t shown on this certificate. The Leptosperin level is 740 mg/kg, a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity as genuine manuka. With UMF 24.6 and an MGO over 1,000 mg/kg, this is a higher-strength manuka honey: great for shoppers who want a premium jar suited to uses where stronger antibacterial activity is valued, such as targeted skincare, beauty applications, wound-care-grade formulations, or for bolstering everyday wellness routines. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has provided a clearly tested, well-documented product you can trust.
In short: UMF 24.6, MGO 1,169 mg/kg, Leptosperin 740 mg/kg — tested by Hills Lab, New Zealand; a high-strength, genuine manuka ideal where stronger antibacterial activity is valued.

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.
