Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This batch of Mānuka honey (Sample ID 618410) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited carries a UMF 10.5 grade — the UMF grade is an independent, easy-to-understand indicator of the honey’s unique Mānuka properties and overall quality as assessed by an authorised grading system. The laboratory results from Hill Labs in New Zealand show an Methylglyoxal (MGO) level of 286 mg/kg, which is the commonly used measure of Mānuka’s antibacterial activity; at this MGO level the honey is ideal for everyday use such as food, baking, drinks and general skincare. Leptosperin is reported at 240 mg/kg, which acts as a botanical marker confirming this is genuine Mānuka sourced from native New Zealand flora. DHA (the natural precursor that can convert into MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but the provided MGO and Leptosperin figures give a clear picture of current quality and authenticity. Hill Labs’ independent testing and New Zealand Honey Co. Limited’s UMF licensing together offer reliable, traceable assurance of what’s in the jar.
In short: A genuine, UMF 10.5 Mānuka honey (MGO 286 mg/kg, Leptosperin 240 mg/kg) from a trusted New Zealand laboratory and licencee — perfect for everyday culinary and skincare 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.
