Mānuka Honey truly is the gold standard revered by naturopaths, dietitians, elite athletes, and natural health consumers around the world. Mānuka Honey is produced from the nectar of the Mānuka tree. For over 50 years, we’ve been perfecting our beekeeping craft, sourcing Mānuka Honey from the remote hills of New Zealand. Honoring the Indigenous Māori people who have used Mānuka for its therapeutic and medicinal abilities for centuries.

Mānuka honey comes from a complex collection of natural compounds called the Unique Mānuka Factor (UMF™) – and you won’t find it anywhere but in authentic New Zealand Mānuka Honey. UMF is the system that independently certifies the presence and quality of all factors that make New Zealand Mānuka Honey unique, ensuring you get honey that is top quality and meets your needs. The Unique Mānuka Factor Honey Association (UMFHA) independently tests and certifies every batch for four key factors that make the all-important UMF rating found on every jar. With the UMF rating, you can confidently choose the right option for you when investing in your health and wellness. The higher the UMF number the more potent the wellness benefits in the Mānuka honey.

Not all Mānuka Honey are UMF rated – only those that have been independently tested and verified by UMFHA are given a UMF rating.

MGO stands for methylglyoxal. MGO forms during the honey’s maturation process when dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a compound found in Mānuka nectar, is converted into methylglyoxal. MGO is principally responsible for Mānuka honey's unique non-peroxide antibacterial activity that is not present in other honey types.

The UMF™ grading system has two components which are expressed on any UMF licensed honey product:

1. The label claim that it is Mānuka

2. The number - this represents four chemical markers that indicate the content of this honey to ensure purity and quality. These are: HMF, DHA (dihydroxyacetone), MGO (methylglyoxal), and Leptosperin (a plant compound).

Mānuka Honey is unique to New Zealand and to obtain pure Mānuka Honey is a specialized task for beekeepers.

Renowned for its unique flavor, Mānuka Honey contains more than 2,000 different compounds – over 20 times more than other types of honey. The unique properties of Mānuka Honey are well understood by consumers around the world, thereby creating a continually high level of demand. Comvita is the only Mānuka honey company to have a government-accredited laboratory. Each batch of our Mānuka honey undergoes more than 34 separate tests to ensure the highest quality.

Honey is a natural product, influenced by seasonal and regional conditions and the nectar source (the blossoms) visited by the bees. Honey color ranges from light amber to dark brown, and its flavor varies from delectably mild to distinctively bold. Like a good wine, honey will grow in flavor and darken with age.

Honey can harden or crystallize over time, indicating that it's unprocessed and retains its natural properties. To change the consistency of the honey, place the jar in a warm water bath to slowly loosen then stir.

Store in a cool, dry place like a pantry or cupboard, away from direct sunlight and heat sources, and ensure the jar is tightly sealed. Mānuka Honey does not need to be refrigerated.

Mānuka honey is a natural food so it can be used every day in the amount you would normally use honey. Recommended intake is 1 Tablespoon per day to maximize the benefits.

Bee Propolis is created by the bees from natural sap and resins found on trees. Trees produce these resins at the site of a plant injury and on new shoots. The bees collect the resin and carry it back to the hive where they mix beeswax and enzymes to make Propolis.
