The Manuka shrub is native to New Zealand, and has a very short annual bloom making it rare and highly sought after. How can I tell this is 100% authentic Manuka Honey? We are aware of the supply of counterfeit Manuka Honey for sale in some markets. We take great care to source our honey from bee-keepers who have high standards and strict control of their hives. Each variety & batch can be traced back to a unique floral source and region. remote locations the hives are placed in, but also that it has a limited harvest period and can only be collected at certain times of the year.

8 touch of colour. Most of all, Manuka Honey is much loved for its rich, complex bitter-sweet flavour that adds another dimension to food. Remember that when using honey in a recipe, go easy because it s sweeter than sugar. How do you harvest it? The best Manuka Honey is found in the most remote locations across New Zealand. When our dedicated team of bee-keepers access these areas to harvest the honey, they take lots of care to ensure minimal impact on the environment. Some brands refer to UMF, and some refer to MGO, what s the difference? Some honey producers use UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) to grade their honey. The UMF rating takes into account the honey s concentration of DHA (dihydroxyacetone), Methylglyoxal and Leptosperin. Others prefer to use the MGO rating number, because it s directly proportional to the amount of methylglyoxal in the honey. We use MGO to grade our honey, and batch test to guarantee the level of MGO in every jar.
