This batch (Sample ID CSNZ16789) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand and carries a UMF grade of 20.7. The UMF grade is a recognised measure of Mānuka’s unique properties and overall potency, while the laboratory result of MGO 880 mg/kg indicates the level of methylglyoxal, a key compound commonly used as an indicator of Mānuka honey’s characteristic activity. The certificate also shows Leptosperin 520 mg/kg, a botanical marker that helps verify this honey as genuine Mānuka from New Zealand flora. In addition, the honey contains DHA 1303 mg/kg, the natural precursor that converts into MGO as Mānuka honey matures, as well as HMF 25.60 mg/kg, a quality marker measured as part of the laboratory assessment. With a UMF grade of 20.7 and MGO 880 mg/kg, this is a high-strength Mānuka honey suited to those looking for a more concentrated premium grade, whether enjoyed by the spoonful, added to food or drinks, or incorporated into a skincare routine. It offers a genuine, independently tested and traceable Mānuka honey from a trusted UMF licensee.
In short: A genuine, independently tested UMF 20.7 Mānuka honey with MGO 880 mg/kg, Leptosperin 520 mg/kg, DHA 1303 mg/kg and HMF 25.60 mg/kg from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited and Hill Labs, offering a premium high-strength option for everyday or targeted use.

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.
