Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar of Mānuka honey from UMF Licensee New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (sample ID 638810) was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 10.1. The UMF grade is a trusted industry measure of Mānuka’s unique activity and overall quality, and a 10.1 sits in the moderate-strength range—excellent for everyday use. The laboratory report shows an MGO (methylglyoxal) level of 267 mg/kg, which is the chemical indicator commonly used to describe Mānuka’s antibacterial activity; at this level the honey is ideal for food, baking, drinks and daily wellness or skincare routines. The certificate also lists Leptosperin 181 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps confirm this is genuine Mānuka harvested from New Zealand flora. No DHA value is shown on this certificate; DHA is the natural precursor that can convert to MGO as honey matures, so its presence can indicate how the honey might develop over time. Tested and certified by Hill Labs, this product reflects careful sourcing and quality control from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited.
In short: A genuine, moderate-strength Mānuka (UMF 10.1, MGO 267 mg/kg, Leptosperin 181 mg/kg) ideal for everyday use and culinary or skincare enjoyment.
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.
