Product Review

Happy Valley UMF 15+ manuka honey has a characteristic golden brown color, distinctive and unmistakeable manuka flavor notes of caramel and malt, and a rich, crisp finish.

The blossoms of the New Zealand Manuka tree (Leptospermum Scoparium) produce honey that is naturally high in powerful natural compounds including methylglyoxal (MG or MGO).

UMF is the benchmark honey industry standard for measuring levels of activity of manuka honey. It is the only rating system that is recognised as being the true and accurate indicator of the purity of New Zealand manuka honey. The higher the UMF rating, the purer the manuka honey and the higher the concentration of methylglyoxal and other natural compounds specific to manuka honey.

Please be aware that honeys claiming ratings for 'Active', 'bio-activity', 'total activity' are unlikely to meet the minimum standards for a true UMF rating.

All Happy Valley manuka honey is tested by a UMF-approved laboratory and can be verified to an independent test result that meets or exceeds the UMF rating shown on the label.

Only Happy Valley publishes these independent test result certificates online for all to see, which means you can be sure you are buying 100% New Zealand UMF manuka honey.
