Harness The Force Of Nature With UMF™ 26+ Manuka Honey
Ultra Premium Manuka Honey From New Zealand
This rare UMF™ 26+ Manuka Honey is scarce in quantity and powerful in performance. Only a very small proportion of manuka honey ever makes it to this grade. In other words, it’s one of the rarest superfoods in the world. If you’re looking for the highest quality honey available, you’ve found it.
Manuka honey is renowned for its health and wellness benefits. At this ultra high grade, it’s often used for specialized medical purposes such as pressure sores, helping burns to recover, and preventing the spread of antibiotic resistant bacteria (in particular, MRSA).
Aside from the clinical uses, you can consume a spoonful a day™ to support the body's microbiome, help with gum disease and give yourself a powerful natural boost of healthy energy. It’s also great for skincare to keep your skin nourished and hydrated, and maintain your healthy complexion.
As you progress through life, the quality and purity of what you consume becomes increasingly important. This exclusive product is for people that want nothing less than the best.
The manuka plant only flowers for around 2-8 weeks each year, and only a very small proportion of honey collected from this harvest can legitimately be called UMF™ 26+. We verify the authenticity of every batch through multiple tests, conducted by independent laboratories and certified by trustworthy bodies.
- UMF™ Approved: we are official members of the UMF™ Honey Association. They are the custodians of the manuka honey industry. To be certified as a UMF™ accredited producer, each batch is required to meet stringent testing standards, which are the highest expectations for any honey in the world.
- Purely New Zealand Made: our beekeeping heritage goes back three generations to the 1930s when the Ward family started harvesting honey from the same land - Aotearoa New Zealand. We display the FernMark™ accreditation to show that we are approved by the government as a reputable exporter, and carry integrity into everything we do. We’re always happy to discuss our manuka honey and provide any further information that you’d like to know.
- Halal Certified: our manuka honey has been approved by FIANZ (The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand) as a legitimate Halal product. Clean As It Gets: we take purity seriously. All of our manuka honeys are certified Non GMO and we are members of The Detox Project. We test for the presence of hundreds of different pesticides and reject any products that don’t meet our exacting standards.
- Clean As It Gets: our manuka honey has been approved by FIANZ (The Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand) as being Halal.
- Supporting Nature’s Regenerative Processes: we are always looking for ways to reduce our environmental footprint and give back to the planet that we call home. Manuka is one of the first plants to grow in a regenerating native forest, and it helps to kickstart the process of reforestation. We package the honey in BPA Free, PETE recyclable plastic jars and use paper labels. Our cardboard boxes are sourced from certified sustainably managed forests and we use plant based ink.

UMF™ & MGO
What is UMF™?
UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor) is a highly-respected grading system that guarantees you genuine, unadulterated natural Manuka Honey. All our Manuka Honey is tested by an independent third party and, at a minimum, meet the standards set by the UMF™ Association and the New Zealand Government.
Understanding UMF™ vs MGO vs K-Factor:
- UMF™ is the highest testing standard for any honey worldwide. UMF™ testing measures these key elements - Leptosperin**, DHA, HMF and Methylglyoxal* (MGO) which all mark a high-quality Manuka Honey.
- MGO measures Methylglyoxal (MG) but not Leptosperin which classifies genuine Manuka honey.
- K-Factor focuses on the pollen count of the honey and does not measure the Methylglyoxal (MGO) strength of the Manuka honey.
New Zealand Honey Co. is a member of the UMF™ Association and all our honey is tested and measured to the UMF grading standard.
*Methylglyoxal - linked to antibacterial properties.
**Leptosperin - linked to anti-inflammatory properties.
