This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Sample ID 3023515) was independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd in New Zealand. The UMF grade is 15.4 — UMF is a licensed quality mark that combines key signature compounds to give a reliable measure of manuka’s unique activity. MGO (methylglyoxal) is 536 mg/kg; MGO indicates the concentration of the compound largely responsible for manuka’s non‑peroxide activity, so a higher MGO number means a stronger-activity honey. DHA, the natural precursor to MGO, is also monitored in testing to show how MGO can develop over time. Leptosperin is 437 mg/kg, which is a strong botanical marker confirming the honey’s genuine manuka origin. With MGO above 500, this is a higher-activity manuka — ideal for shoppers who want a premium, potent honey from a trusted licensee for targeted wellness routines and beauty or skincare uses where stronger activity is preferred. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited offers clear traceability and quality you can trust.
In short: UMF 15.4, MGO 536 mg/kg, Leptosperin 437 mg/kg — independently tested by Analytica Laboratories Ltd (New Zealand); a high‑activity, premium manuka 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.
