Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This independently tested batch (Sample ID 1260725) from Licensee New Zealand Honey Co. Limited was analysed by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 27. Lab results show MGO (methylglyoxal) at 1361 mg/kg — MGO is the compound that indicates the honey’s antibacterial potency — and leptosperin at 900 mg/kg, which is a botanical marker of genuine manuka. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the natural precursor that converts into MGO as the honey ages (no DHA value is provided here). With an MGO well above 500, this is a higher-strength manuka that shoppers often choose for gut health and immunity-focused use, for higher-value beauty and skin-care applications, and where stronger antibacterial properties are preferred. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited offers a premium, traceable product with credible independent testing from Hill Labs.
In short: UMF 27 with MGO 1361 mg/kg and leptosperin 900 mg/kg — a high-strength, independently tested manuka, ideal for buyers wanting potent antibacterial activity in a premium, traceable honey.
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.
