Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar of Mānuka honey, batch/sample ID 21204, has been independently tested by Hill Laboratories in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 20.6 — a measure that represents the unique Mānuka Factor, an independent grading of potency and authenticity. The lab results show Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 871 mg/kg, an indicator of higher antibacterial activity, and Leptosperin at 990 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this honey is genuine Mānuka. DHA is not shown on this certificate; conceptually, DHA is a natural precursor in the honey that converts into MGO over time. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, is named on the certificate and you can trust their commitment to clear, certified product quality. With a UMF around 20 and MGO well above 500 mg/kg, this is a higher-strength Mānuka suited to uses where stronger activity is preferred—think targeted beauty and skincare routines, wound-care-friendly skincare formulations, and those who like higher-strength Mānuka for gut and immunity-supporting routines or as a special everyday pantry staple.
In short: A high-strength, independently certified Mānuka honey from New Zealand—potent, genuine, and backed by trusted testing and licence.
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.
