Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Sample ID 2150623) was independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 15.7 — a recognised measure of manuka’s unique markers and overall potency — and an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 555 mg/kg, which indicates a relatively high antibacterial activity compared with lower-MGO products. Leptosperin, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka, is measured at 430 mg/kg in this sample. Note that DHA is the natural precursor that converts to MGO during honey maturation (no DHA value is listed on this certificate). With an MGO above 500, this honey is well suited to uses that benefit from stronger antibacterial properties — for example in richer skincare or beauty preparations, as a stronger option for everyday wellness routines, or in culinary and topical applications where a higher-profile manuka is preferred. The licensed supplier, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, offers a reliably tested product backed by an independent New Zealand laboratory.
In short: UMF 15.7, MGO 555 mg/kg, Leptosperin 430 mg/kg — a high-MGO, genuine manuka honey from Hills Lab (NZ), ideal where a stronger antibacterial profile is desired.
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.
