Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey (Sample ID 537J15) has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 16.9 — the UMF number represents the unique Mānuka factor, an industry measure of the honey’s non‑peroxide activity and overall potency. The lab report shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 629 mg/kg, which is the key indicator commonly used to describe antibacterial activity levels; at this strength the honey is considered higher‑strength and suitable for uses where stronger natural activity is preferred. Leptosperin is reported at 640 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this product is genuine Mānuka honey from native New Zealand sources. DHA, the natural precursor that converts into MGO as honey matures, is not listed on this certificate, but the MGO and Leptosperin results give clear confirmation of quality. UMF Licensee New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has produced and overseen this batch with traceability and independent lab verification, so shoppers can buy with confidence in the provenance and consistency.
In short: A high‑strength, well‑verified Mānuka honey (UMF 16.9, MGO 629 mg/kg) from New Zealand, ideal for those seeking a robust, authentic product for beauty, skincare and other higher‑strength uses.
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.
