This batch from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Sample ID 3018410) was independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 11.9, which signals a reliable level of the unique non‑peroxide activity that UMF measures in manuka. The lab found MGO (methylglyoxal) at 350 mg/kg — MGO is the chemical largely responsible for manuka’s distinctive antibacterial strength, so this number helps you compare potency between jars. DHA, the naturally occurring precursor to MGO, is part of that conversion process (no DHA value was provided on this certificate). The Leptosperin result of 375 mg/kg is a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. Taken together, these results show a genuine, mid‑strength manuka honey from a trusted producer; with MGO in the 350 mg/kg range it’s particularly well suited to everyday use — food, baking, drinks, daily wellness and skincare routines — and is a dependable, quality product from a reputable licensee.
In short: UMF 11.9, MGO 350 mg/kg, Leptosperin 375 mg/kg — independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd (New Zealand); a great mid‑strength manuka for daily use from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited.

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.
