Region where your Mānuka Honey was sourced:
This jar from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited (Sample ID CSNZ16303) carries a strong UMF 26.2 grade, tested and certified by Hill Labs in New Zealand. The UMF grade is a recognised quality rating that represents the honey’s unique Mānuka factors — a useful shorthand for overall potency and authenticity — while the Methylglyoxal (MGO) result of 1299 mg/kg is the laboratory indicator most commonly associated with higher antibacterial activity. The Leptosperin value of 730 mg/kg is a botanical marker confirming this as genuine Mānuka harvested from New Zealand flora. No DHA value is listed on this certificate; DHA is the natural precursor that can convert into MGO as honey matures, so producers sometimes report it to show future potential. With numbers at this level, this is a higher-strength Mānuka suited to uses where a more robust, pure Mānuka is desired — think advanced beauty routines, targeted skincare steps, wound-care-friendly dressings in first‑aid contexts, or adding a potent, flavourful touch to your wellness rituals. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited’s UMF licensing and Hill Labs’ independent testing give extra confidence in purity and consistency.
In short: UMF 26.2 / MGO 1299 — a premium, high-strength, genuinely sourced Mānuka honey from a trusted New Zealand UMF licensee and independent lab.
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.
