Great tasting honey

“I put my honey on a Ritz cracker, the salty, buttery flavor of the Ritz with the honey makes a great little mid morning snack to keep me going. My wife puts her honey in her oat meal in the morning she also likes the cracker thing. The squeeze bottle makes it simple.”

Great Honey!!

“New Zealand’s honey is my favorite Manuka. I have tried several others and none compare. I really like the 15+. It is smooth,not too sweet with a great flavor. Our household uses it in tea and coffee and on other occasions it is added to our teriyaki sauce.”

My experience with the Manuka UMF15+

“Excellent overall. The taste was very nice and whole family liked it very much. We ate it pure from a spoon, and loved also to spread it on a toast of bread with or without cheese. Good to the last drop.”

FAQ's:

What do UMF™ and MGO mean — and how do they relate?

UMF™ stands for Unique Manuka Factor — it's an independent certification system that tests Manuka honey for authenticity across key markers including MGO, DHA, HMF and leptosperin. MGO (methylglyoxal) is one of the naturally occurring compounds that makes Manuka honey special — the higher the number, the greater the concentration. In short: UMF™ tells you it's real, MGO tells you how potent it is.

How do I know this Manuka honey is genuine?

Every batch is independently tested and certified under the UMF™ grading system. Scan the QR code on the lid of your jar to view the UMF™ certificate and trace exactly where in New Zealand your honey came from.

Is UMF™ 15+ considered strong? Who is it best for?

UMF™ 15+ is our mid-tier grade with MGO 514+ — a noticeable step up from UMF™ 10+, while still versatile enough for everyday use. It's a popular choice for those who want a bit more from their daily Manuka honey without jumping to the higher-potency grades.

What's the difference between UMF™ 15+ and UMF™ 10+ or 20+?

It's all about potency. UMF™ 10+ has MGO 263+, UMF™ 15+ has MGO 514+, and UMF™ 20+ has MGO 829+. Each step up means a higher concentration of naturally occurring compounds from a more selective harvest.

Why is UMF™ 15+ more expensive than UMF™ 10+?

Higher UMF™ grades occur naturally in smaller quantities during harvest and must meet stricter certification thresholds. That means more rigorous testing and less honey available at this level — which is reflected in the price.

How much should I take and how do I use it?

Most people take ½ to 1 teaspoon a day. Enjoy it straight from the spoon, stir it into warm (not boiling) water or tea, drizzle it over yoghurt or oats, or blend it into smoothies.

Why has my honey crystallised or looks different from my last jar?

Crystallisation is completely natural and doesn't affect quality — just warm the jar gently in lukewarm water to soften it. And if your honey looks or tastes a little different to your last jar, that's normal too. Natural variation happens between harvests, but the certification and potency remain consistent.

Is this honey raw?

Yes — 100% raw. Nothing is added or removed at any stage of production. What you get is pure Manuka honey, exactly as it exists after extraction from the hive.

TRACEABLE TO THE SOURCE

We know that the energy of our environment is captured in our honey

This is why it is so important to us that our honey is pure, ethically sourced and safe for you and your family.

Produced In Aotearoa New Zealand

All our honey is foraged, harvested, packed, labelled and tested in New Zealand, meaning that what you are receiving is 100% genuine, as stated on the jar.

Pure Monofloral Manuka Honey

Our manuka honey is predominantly foraged by bees from the manuka flower. As bees make their journeys to and from the hive, they can encounter a number of floral varieties. This is why we test every batch of our honey, to ensure it contains the natural markers that make manuka honey so sought after. Our manuka honey is an organic, natural living food. This means that it still contains all the natural pollen and enzymes produced by the bees. Made by nature. Every pot is tested for agrichemicals and other impurities. We’re Non-GMO verified, members of the Detox Project, glyphosate residue-free, Kosher and Halal certified.

Sustainably Curated in Partnership with Nature

Manuka is an indigenous tree of New Zealand that plays an important role in regenerating forests and supporting local ecosystems. Manuka honey can only be sourced from our beautiful country. Approximately 95% of our packaging comes from recycled materials – with a commitment to improving wherever we can. We currently use 100% recyclable PETE 1 packaging, free from BPA. This is one of the most widely accepted plastics for recycling around the world. Our card paper is from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources. We are continually investigating more sustainable packaging that focuses on a reduction of virgin materials. This is an immediate goal for us. Please reuse or recycle in accordance with your local recycling centre processes.
