Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey, tested by Hill Laboratories in New Zealand and supplied by New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd (Sample ID: 21203), carries a UMF Grade of 24.2. The UMF grade is an independent measure of the unique Mānuka factor — a broad indicator of the honey’s non-peroxide activity and overall potency. The certificate also shows an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 1140 mg/kg, which is the specific chemical often used to indicate antibacterial activity in Mānuka honey. Leptosperin is reported at 1440 mg/kg, confirming the botanical authenticity of this honey as genuine Mānuka. DHA (the natural precursor that can convert into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but conceptually DHA is what helps some Mānuka honeys increase in strength over time. New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd are a recognised UMF licensee and the independent Hill Laboratories result gives shoppers confidence in the provenance and measured quality of this jar.
In short: A high-strength, authentically tested Mānuka honey (UMF 24.2, MGO 1140 mg/kg) from a trusted New Zealand licence holder, ideal for those seeking a premium, potent product for everyday and specialised uses.
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.
