About this product

Raw, UMF 15+ certified Manuka honey, traceable to the hive. The one to buy when you actually want it to work.

Raw monofloral Manuka honey from remote hive sites across New Zealand. 100% raw, nothing added, nothing removed at any stage. Thick, amber, and mild-sweet rather than sharp, with the caramel depth Manuka is known for.

What UMF 15+ and MGO 514+ mean

These are the two numbers worth understanding, and most jars on the shelf only give you one.

  • MGO 514+ is methylglyoxal, the naturally occurring compound that gives Manuka its potency. Higher number, higher concentration.
  • UMF 15+ is the Unique Manuka Factor grade, an independent certification that tests four markers, not one: MGO, leptosperin, DHA and HMF. It verifies the honey is true Manuka, from New Zealand, and has not degraded on the shelf.

Plenty of honey advertises an MGO number alone. UMF certification is the harder standard, and it is why this jar can be traced: scan the QR code on the lid to pull up this jar's UMF certificate and the New Zealand region it came from.

Who this is for

  • Cold and flu season; a spoonful for a sore throat is the oldest use there is
  • Anyone who has been told to try Manuka and does not know which number matters
  • Daily use in tea or on toast for people who want a raw, unheated honey
  • Traditional use on skin; ask us about it
  • A serious gift for someone who takes their health seriously

How to use

Half a teaspoon to a teaspoon a day, off the spoon or stirred into warm tea, yogurt or toast. Do not cook with it; heat undoes what you paid for. If it crystallizes, that is a good sign; raw honey does that. Stand the jar in warm water and it comes right back. Net wt. 17.6 oz (500 g).
