This batch (Sample ID D043K20) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has been independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. The UMF grade is 20.8, which aligns with a high-grade manuka profile; the laboratory measured MGO (methylglyoxal) at 883 mg/kg — MGO is the compound used as an indicator of antibacterial strength, so a higher MGO number points to stronger antibacterial activity. Leptosperin is 740 mg/kg, supporting the botanical authenticity of genuine manuka. DHA, which is a precursor that converts to MGO over time, is often reported on certificates but is not listed here. Because this honey sits well above the 500 MGO mark, shoppers often choose it where a more powerful antibacterial-grade manuka is desired — for example in higher-strength skincare or beauty applications, and for people preferring a robust manuka for targeted wellness uses. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited is offering a clearly tested, high-strength product you can trust thanks to independent verification from Hill Labs.
In short: UMF 20.8, MGO 883, Leptosperin 740 mg/kg — a genuine, high-strength manuka honey (tested by Hill Labs, New Zealand) suited to uses that call for stronger antibacterial activity.
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.
