This Mānuka honey batch (Sample ID 1241122) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand and shows a UMF grade of 24.2 — a trusted indicator of the unique Mānuka factors and overall quality you can expect from premium New Zealand Mānuka. The laboratory report lists Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 1,139 mg/kg, which is the key chemical marker used to describe the honey’s higher antibacterial-related activity, and Leptosperin at 680 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this is genuine Mānuka honey. DHA (the precursor that naturally converts into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but labs often measure it as part of the honey’s maturation profile. With a UMF in the mid‑20s and MGO above 1,000 mg/kg, this is a high-strength Mānuka well suited to uses where stronger activity is preferred — for example as part of a beauty or skincare routine, in wound-care preparations, and for general immunity and digestive-support routines — and it also makes a distinctive, luxurious addition to food and beverages. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is a reputable UMF licensee and Hills Lab provides independent verification of quality.
In short: A premium, high-strength UMF 24.2 Mānuka honey (MGO 1,139 mg/kg, Leptosperin 680 mg/kg) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited — independently tested by Hills Lab in 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.
