Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey, Sample ID 610210, was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF 10.2 grade — the UMF grade is a recognised quality mark that reflects the honey’s non-peroxide Mānuka activity and overall authenticity. The laboratory result shows an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 272 mg/kg, which is the commonly used indicator of Mānuka’s antibacterial activity; at this level it sits in the lower-to-mid strength range, making it ideal for everyday uses such as food, baking, drinks, general wellness and skincare. The certificate also reports Leptosperin at 250 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps verify this honey as genuine Mānuka from New Zealand. DHA (the natural precursor that can develop into MGO over time) is not listed on this certificate, but is the compound producers sometimes track to understand how honey will mature. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, the UMF Licensee, is a trusted producer committed to independent testing and clear labelling, so you can buy with confidence.
In short: A genuine, mid-strength Mānuka (UMF 10.2, MGO 272) from New Zealand — great for daily use, cooking and skincare, tested by Hill Labs and supplied by New Zealand Honey Co. Limited.
This certification confirms the authenticity and quality of your Mānuka honey purchase.
All testing performed by independent, accredited laboratories.

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.
