This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (sample ID 2200824) carries a UMF grade of 20.2, independently verified by Hill Labs in New Zealand. UMF is a recognised grading that reflects manuka’s unique markers and overall potency. The laboratory found Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 845 mg/kg — MGO is the chemical largely responsible for manuka’s non-peroxide antibacterial activity, so a higher MGO number indicates stronger antibacterial potential. The report also shows Leptosperin at 480 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. DHA (dihydroxyacetone), not quoted here, is the nectar-derived precursor that converts to MGO as honey matures. Taken together, these numbers show a high-grade, authentic manuka honey from a trusted UMF licensee, well suited to uses that benefit from stronger antibacterial properties. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited offers this premium product with the confidence of third‑party testing by Hill Labs.
In short: UMF 20.2 with MGO 845 mg/kg and Leptosperin 480 mg/kg — a high‑grade, genuinely manuka honey (tested by Hill Labs, New Zealand) ideal for those seeking a stronger antibacterial profile for gut support, immunity, beauty and skin/wound care routines.

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.
