Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This bottle from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is a high-strength Mānuka honey, independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand (Sample ID 1246/23). It carries a UMF 25 grade — a recognised measure that reflects the honey’s unique Mānuka factors and overall quality — and an MGO of 1200 mg/kg, which is the key indicator of higher antibacterial activity in Mānuka. The laboratory result for Leptosperin is 965 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm the honey is genuine Mānuka from native sources. DHA (the natural precursor that converts into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate; conceptually, DHA influences how potency can change over time. Because this product sits well above the 500 MGO threshold, it’s best used where higher-strength Mānuka is preferred — for everyday wellness routines, beauty and skincare applications, and other uses where stronger activity is desirable. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited’s UMF licensing plus independent lab testing gives clear, trustworthy information to help you choose with confidence.
In short: A premium, genuine UMF 25 Mānuka honey (MGO 1200 mg/kg) tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand — potent, authentic and clearly labelled for confident use.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.
All testing performed by independent, accredited laboratories.

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.
