Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (sample ID 2240323) was independently tested by Hills Lab in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 24.1 — a recognised industry grading that reflects the honey’s unique manuka properties. The laboratory measured MGO (methylglyoxal) at 1,129 mg/kg; MGO is the compound most commonly used to indicate antibacterial strength, while DHA is the natural precursor that forms MGO over time. Leptosperin was 660 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. Put simply, these numbers show a high-activity manuka: MGO above 500 is typically chosen where stronger antibacterial activity is desired, whereas lower MGO honeys are more for daily food, baking and gentle skincare. The Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, provides this clearly tested product so shoppers can pick a honey matched to their needs with confidence.
In short: UMF 24.1 with MGO 1,129 mg/kg and leptosperin 660 mg/kg (tested by Hills Lab, New Zealand) — a high-activity, authentic manuka suited to uses that commonly call for 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.
