Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 536J10) was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 10.5 — the UMF mark represents the measured non-peroxide activity that helps distinguish genuine Mānuka quality. The lab reports Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 286 mg/kg, an indicator of the honey’s antibacterial activity level; at this MGO it’s well suited to everyday uses such as food, baking, drinks and skincare. Leptosperin is 320 mg/kg, which is the botanical marker used to confirm that the honey is authentic Mānuka. DHA was not reported on this certificate; conceptually DHA is the precursor that can convert to MGO as honey matures, so a reported DHA value would indicate potential for future MGO changes. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, the UMF Licensee, has provided a clearly documented, independently verified product — a reassuring sign of quality and traceability.
In short: A genuine, UMF 10.5 Mānuka honey (MGO 286 mg/kg, Leptosperin 320 mg/kg) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand — a great everyday-strength choice for food and skincare.
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.
