Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This certified Mānuka honey (Sample ID 2NZH15), sold by New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd, was independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. It carries a UMF 15 grade — UMF is a recognised measure of the honey’s distinctive non-peroxide activity and overall quality — and the laboratory reports an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 514 mg/kg, which is the common indicator of antibacterial activity in Mānuka. Leptosperin is measured at 489 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this is genuine Mānuka honey from New Zealand. The certificate does not list DHA; DHA is the natural precursor to MGO and, when reported, helps indicate how the honey may mature over time. With an MGO above 500 mg/kg, shoppers often choose this strength for higher‑potency uses such as general immunity and gut-supporting routines, beauty and skincare, or for topical care where stronger antibacterial properties are preferred. The presence of a UMF grade and independent lab testing demonstrates clear quality control, and New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd’s standing as the UMF Licensee is a positive sign of provenance and consistency.
In short: UMF 15 Mānuka honey (MGO 514 mg/kg, Leptosperin 489 mg/kg), independently tested in New Zealand — a high‑strength, trusted option for those seeking stronger Mānuka potency.
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.
