Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This high-strength Mānuka honey carries a UMF grade of 24.6 — the UMF score represents the honey’s measured signature compounds and overall quality as assessed by the UMF grading system. Independent testing by Hill Labs in New Zealand (sample ID 4240225) shows an MGO of 1169 mg/kg, which is the commonly used indicator of antibacterial activity and explains why this jar is classed as a very potent Mānuka. The Leptosperin result of 590 mg/kg verifies botanical authenticity as genuine Mānuka, and while this certificate does not list a DHA value, DHA is the natural precursor that converts into MGO as the honey matures. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, is named on the certificate — a recognised producer bringing this lab-tested batch to market. Because of its high MGO and UMF, shoppers often choose this honey for pantry use when seeking higher-strength Mānuka, and it is popular for uses such as gut health and immunity, beauty and skincare, and other topical applications where stronger antibacterial activity is desired.
In short: A premium, lab-tested UMF 24.6 Mānuka (MGO 1169 mg/kg, Leptosperin 590 mg/kg) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited — potent, authentic, and New Zealand-tested.
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.
