Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This Mānuka honey, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand for sample ID 616420, carries a UMF grade of 20.1 — a recognised measure of the unique Mānuka factor that reflects non-peroxide activity and overall quality. The laboratory report shows Methylglyoxal (MGO) at 839 mg/kg, which is the key indicator commonly used to describe Mānuka’s stronger antibacterial activity; in practical terms, that places this jar among higher-strength Mānuka honeys suitable for wellness and topical beauty uses. Leptosperin is reported at 560 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this is genuine Mānuka from New Zealand flora. DHA (the natural precursor that converts into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but the UMF/MGO and leptosperin results together give a clear picture of potency and authenticity. The UMF Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, is named on the certificate — a sign you’re buying through a licensed, quality-focused producer. Typical uses for this strength include inclusion in immunity and gut-health routines, targeted beauty and skincare applications, and other situations where higher Mānuka strength is preferred.
In short: A high-strength, independently tested Mānuka (UMF 20.1, MGO 839 mg/kg) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited — potent, authentic and quality-assured by Hill Labs.
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.
