Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand for UMF certification, carries a UMF grade of 20.8 — the UMF grade represents an independent measure of the unique natural markers that make genuine Mānuka honey distinctive. The lab measured Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 886 mg/kg, an established indicator of antibacterial activity in Mānuka honey, and Leptosperin at 650 mg/kg, a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity as true Mānuka. DHA is not reported on this certificate; DHA is the natural precursor that forms MGO as honey matures, and labs sometimes report it to show how MGO may develop over time. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, is the named seller and is recognised here for supplying a well-tested product (Sample ID 606220). With an MGO this high (≥500), this jar is well suited to applications that call for higher-strength Mānuka — for example, focused daily wellness routines, beauty and skincare use, or where the distinctive Mānuka flavour and robustness are preferred.
In short: A high-strength, independently tested UMF 20.8 Mānuka honey (MGO 886, Leptosperin 650) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited — potent, authentic, and lab-verified.
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.
