This batch (Sample ID MM283/23B) from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited carries a UMF grade of 26.6, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. Its Methylglyoxal (MGO) level is 1332 mg/kg — MGO is the compound that drives manuka’s non-peroxide antibacterial rating, so a high number like this indicates a very strong antibacterial profile. Leptosperin is reported at 830 mg/kg, a botanical marker used to confirm genuine manuka origin. The certificate does not list a DHA value; DHA is the natural precursor that converts to MGO over time, so it’s sometimes included on lab reports but is not provided here. Because of its high MGO, this honey is particularly well suited to consumers looking for a higher-strength manuka for daily wellness routines and for topical beauty and skin-care purposes where stronger antibacterial activity is preferred. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has provided a carefully sourced product and the Hill Labs result adds independent credibility to the grade shown.
In short: UMF 26.6, MGO 1332 mg/kg, Leptosperin 830 mg/kg — independently tested by Hill Labs (New Zealand); ideal as a higher-strength manuka for stronger antibacterial applications in wellness and skin-care.

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.
