This certificate (Sample ID MM325/24) shows a truly high-strength Mānuka honey from New Zealand Honey Co. Limited, independently tested by Hill Labs in New Zealand. The UMF grade is 26.2 — UMF (Unique Mānuka Factor) is the industry grading that represents the honey’s distinctive, non-peroxide activity and overall quality. The Methylglyoxal (MGO) result of 1298 mg/kg is a clear indicator of strong antibacterial activity compared with lower-strength honeys, so this jar is on the higher end of Mānuka potency. Leptosperin is reported at 640 mg/kg, which is the botanical marker used to verify genuine Mānuka from native New Zealand sources. DHA (the natural precursor that converts to MGO as honey matures) is not listed on this certificate, but the provided MGO shows the current level of activity. New Zealand Honey Co. Limited has provided a well-documented, independently verified product and the Hill Labs report gives you confidence in the numbers and authenticity.
In short: A premium, high-strength Mānuka (UMF 26.2, MGO 1298 mg/kg, Leptosperin 640 mg/kg) from a trusted New Zealand producer, ideal for higher-strength uses like immunity and beauty routines or specialised skincare.
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.
