This certificate (Sample ID D029710) from Analytica Laboratories Ltd, New Zealand, confirms the New Zealand Honey Co. Limited manuka has a UMF grade of 10.3, MGO (methylglyoxal) at 277 mg/kg and leptosperin at 327 mg/kg. UMF is an independent grading that reflects manuka’s unique signature compounds and overall quality; a 10.3 indicates a solid, authentic mid‑range manuka. MGO is the measured level of methylglyoxal, the compound commonly used to indicate manuka’s antibacterial strength—at 277 mg/kg this sits below 500 mg/kg and is well suited to everyday uses like food, baking, drinks, skincare and general wellness. Leptosperin is a botanical marker that supports the honey’s authenticity, and the reported value (327 mg/kg) reassures you are getting genuine manuka. DHA, the nectar component that converts into MGO over time, was not listed on this certificate. The testing by a recognised independent lab in New Zealand gives extra confidence in the results, and the Licensee, New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, is offering a reliably tested product you can enjoy daily.
In short: UMF 10.3, MGO 277 mg/kg, leptosperin 327 mg/kg — a trustworthy, mid‑range manuka ideal for culinary use, everyday wellness and skincare (Analytica Laboratories Ltd, New Zealand).

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.
