This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (sample ID 2151123) has been independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand. The honey carries a UMF grade of 15.3, which signals a strong level of manuka’s unique non-peroxide activity. The laboratory also measured Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 529 mg/kg — MGO is the compound most often used to indicate antibacterial strength — and Leptosperin at 470 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm genuine manuka origin. DHA (dihydroxyacetone) is the natural precursor in nectar that converts into MGO over time, so MGO and DHA are linked as the honey ages. With an MGO above 500, this is a higher-strength manuka, making it particularly well suited for applications where a robust antibacterial profile is desired — think immunity-supporting pantry choices, targeted beauty and skin-care uses, or other everyday uses where people seek a stronger manuka presence. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited provides clear, independently verified results so you can choose with confidence.
In short: UMF 15.3, MGO 529 mg/kg, Leptosperin 470 mg/kg — a high-strength, lab-tested manuka from Hills Lab (New Zealand) ideal for those seeking stronger antibacterial properties.

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.
