This batch (Sample ID 3240225) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and shows a UMF grade of 24.1. UMF is an overall grading that reflects manuka’s unique activity — it takes into account markers such as MGO and leptosperin. The MGO (methylglyoxal) result is 1,128 mg/kg, which indicates a very high level of antibacterial activity in the honey. Leptosperin, a botanical marker used to verify genuine manuka, measures 660 mg/kg in this certificate. DHA, the natural precursor that converts into MGO as honey matures, isn’t listed on this report. With these numbers, this is a potent, high-activity manuka that many shoppers choose when they want a stronger antibacterial profile for intensive topical skincare, beauty formulations, or when selecting a robust culinary or wellness-grade honey. The Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, has provided a well-documented product verified by a reputable New Zealand lab, so you can buy with confidence.
In short: UMF 24.1, MGO 1,128 mg/kg, Leptosperin 660 mg/kg — a high-activity manuka from New Zealand Honey Co., independently tested by Hill Labs (New Zealand).

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.
