This certificate shows that New Zealand Honey Co. Limited’s batch D051K20 was independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. The honey carries a UMF grade of 20.4 — UMF measures the unique non-peroxide activity found in manuka honey and is a trusted way to compare potency. The laboratory found MGO (methylglyoxal) at 857 mg/kg; MGO is the compound most associated with manuka’s antibacterial strength, and higher MGO numbers indicate a stronger antibacterial rating. DHA, the floral precursor that converts to MGO during honey maturation, was not listed on this certificate. Leptosperin was measured at 620 mg/kg; leptosperin is a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin, and a strong leptosperin level supports the honey’s authenticity. With an MGO of 857 (well above 500), this is a high-strength manuka honey—excellent for shoppers looking for a premium, potent product from a reputable producer. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited’s testing at Hill Labs gives confidence in the grade and origin.
In short: UMF 20.4 with MGO 857 and leptosperin 620 — a high-strength, genuine manuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, independently tested by Hill Labs (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.
