Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar of Mānuka honey (Sample ID 2NZH12) was independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 10.4 — the UMF rating is an independent measure of the signature compounds that define genuine Mānuka and gives a simple way to compare quality and potency. The laboratory report shows MGO (methylglyoxal) at 278 mg/kg, which is an indicator of the honey’s antibacterial activity; at this level it’s best suited to food and everyday uses. Leptosperin is reported at 379 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this is real Mānuka harvested from New Zealand flora. DHA (the precursor to MGO) isn’t listed on this certificate, but DHA is the natural compound that can convert to MGO as honey matures. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, is named on the certificate and you can rely on their commitment to traceability and quality.
In short: A genuine, UMF 10.4 Mānuka honey with MGO 278 mg/kg — perfect for drizzling, baking, drinks and everyday skincare, backed by trusted New Zealand testing and a reputable licence holder.
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.
