This batch (Sample ID 3200323) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hill Laboratories in New Zealand. It carries a UMF grade of 20.2 — a high UMF rating that signals strong manuka-specific activity. The certificate shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 840 mg/kg; MGO is the key compound used to indicate antibacterial strength in manuka honey, so higher MGO numbers reflect a stronger antibacterial rating. Leptosperin is reported at 530 mg/kg, a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity as genuine manuka. DHA, the natural precursor that converts to MGO over time, is not listed on this certificate. Together these results mean this is a premium, high-activity manuka honey — well suited to uses where a higher antibacterial rating is often preferred, such as targeted skincare and beauty formulations, and other applications where stronger activity is desired. The Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, is offering a thoroughly tested, high-grade product you can trust.
In short: UMF 20.2, MGO 840 mg/kg and Leptosperin 530 mg/kg — a genuine, high-activity manuka honey from Hill Laboratories (New Zealand), ideal when higher antibacterial rating is preferred.
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.
