Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar of Mānuka honey (Sample ID 2NZH19) from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd was independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. The certificate shows a UMF grade of 16.6 — the UMF mark is a recognised grading that represents the honey’s non-peroxide activity and overall potency. The lab measured Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 606 mg/kg, which is the key indicator commonly used to describe antibacterial strength; at this level the honey sits in the higher-strength range. Leptosperin is reported at 542 mg/kg, which supports the botanical authenticity of genuine Mānuka. A DHA value is not listed on this certificate; DHA is the natural precursor that converts to MGO as honey matures, so its presence is often tracked but isn’t shown here. Taken together, the UMF grade, MGO and Leptosperin confirm this is a premium, authentic Mānuka product from a reputable UMF licensee and tested by a New Zealand lab — ideal for those seeking a higher-strength Mānuka for beauty, wound care, skincare, immunity and gut-supporting uses, while also being excellent for everyday treats and recipes if you prefer a potent flavour.
In short: A genuine, high-strength Mānuka (UMF 16.6, MGO 606 mg/kg, Leptosperin 542 mg/kg) tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd — a premium choice from New Zealand Honey Co. Ltd.
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.
