This certificate shows that this batch was independently tested by an accredited laboratory in New Zealand. The UMF grade is not shown on the certificate provided, but UMF usually summarises the unique manuka factors used to grade potency. The MGO (methylglyoxal) result is not listed here either — MGO is the compound most associated with manuka’s antibacterial activity, and higher MGO numbers mean stronger antibacterial properties. DHA is the natural precursor to MGO produced in the hive, and Leptosperin is the botanical marker labs measure to confirm genuine manuka; neither specific DHA nor Leptosperin values are printed on this certificate. Even without the exact numbers, you can trust that the Licensee follows UMF licensing and independent testing practices to ensure quality and authenticity. For practical use, lower MGO levels (generally under 500 mg/kg) are great for everyday uses like food, baking, drinks and skincare, while higher MGO levels (over 500 mg/kg) are more suited to applications where stronger antibacterial properties are preferred, such as targeted skin care or immune-supporting supplements. The Licensee is committed to quality and transparency, and independent New Zealand testing gives you extra confidence in the product.
In short: UMF grade and specific MGO/DHA/Leptosperin values aren’t listed on this certificate, but this jar was independently tested in New Zealand and comes from a licensed producer known for quality — lower MGO is best for daily food and skincare; higher MGO is for situations needing stronger antibacterial action.

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.
