Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 20NZH12) from UMF licensee New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd has a UMF rating of 16.3, independently tested by Gribbles LABNET in New Zealand. The UMF grade is a recognised measure of Mānuka quality and unique non‑peroxide activity, and the laboratory report also shows an MGO of 591 mg/kg — MGO is the chemical indicator commonly used to describe antibacterial activity, so this is a higher‑strength Mānuka. Leptosperin is measured at 1058 mg/kg, which is the botanical marker laboratories use to verify genuine Mānuka from New Zealand. The certificate does not list a DHA value; DHA is the natural precursor to MGO and, when reported, helps indicate how the honey may mature over time. Altogether, this certificate confirms a strong, authentic Mānuka honey from a trusted New Zealand lab and licence holder — ideal for shoppers wanting a higher‑strength honey for immunity and gut health support, beauty and skincare, or wound care and topical uses in everyday routines.
In short: A genuine, higher‑strength Mānuka (UMF 16.3, MGO 591 mg/kg) tested by Gribbles LABNET and brought to you by New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd — potent, authentic and ready for stronger‑use applications.
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.
