This batch (Sample ID 3014410) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 11.5 — a recognised quality mark that reflects the honey’s unique signature of markers. The lab report shows MGO (methylglyoxal) at 330 mg/kg; MGO is the naturally occurring compound that largely drives manuka’s non-peroxide activity and is commonly used as an indicator of potency. DHA, the natural precursor that converts to MGO in the hive, is not listed on this certificate. The leptosperin result is 276 mg/kg, which is the botanical marker test used to confirm genuine manuka origin. Taken together, these numbers show a well‑authentic, mid‑range UMF manuka: robust enough to be valued for food, everyday wellness, baking, drinks and skincare, while still being versatile and easy to use. You can trust New Zealand Honey Co. Limited to bring you quality-assured manuka backed by a reputable New Zealand laboratory.
In short: UMF 11.5, MGO 330 mg/kg, leptosperin 276 mg/kg — a genuine, mid‑strength manuka ideal for everyday use.
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.
