This monofloral Mānuka honey (sample and batch ID D006215) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Analytica Laboratories in New Zealand and carries a UMF™ grade of 16.4. The UMF™ grading system assesses key markers associated with the authenticity, purity, and quality of genuine New Zealand Mānuka honey. The laboratory results show a methylglyoxal (MGO/MG) level of 595 mg/kg, the naturally occurring compound commonly used to indicate Mānuka honey’s non-peroxide activity. The honey also contains 859 mg/kg of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), the naturally occurring precursor that gradually converts into MGO over time. A Leptosperin result of 413 mg/kg further supports its authenticity as genuine monofloral Mānuka honey from New Zealand flora. The reported HMF level is 15.00 mg/kg.
With a certified UMF™ grade of 16.4, this honey offers a robust, premium-strength option for daily wellness routines. It can be enjoyed straight from the spoon, spread on toast, stirred into warm drinks, incorporated into recipes, or added to personal skincare routines. New Zealand Honey Co.

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.
