Product Review

• Manuka Honey - Raw Manuka honey from New Zealand is world renowned for having unique health benefits and has a unique non-peroxide activity which isn't found in any other variety of honey.


• UMF (Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association) - is an independent organization. The association holds all members accountable to the highest standards and the grading levels they set. The association conducts random testing to ensure these are maintained


• UMF Grading - UMF is how we grade our Manuka honey, the MG level is listed to provide a comparison. UMF 15+ will have an MGO level of at least 514 MGO


• Why Buy New Zealand Honey - it is illegal to import honey into New Zealand, so everything we harvest, pack and sell is 100% genuine New Zealand Manuka honey


• Source - Our Manuka honey is produced by bees foraging nectar from the native Manuka plant, a scrubby tree that is indigenous to and is abundant across New Zealand. The small white flowers of the Manuka tree bloom during spring and summer in New Zealand and this is the time of year when the bees collect the nectar and produce the honey. Our hives are located around the Wanaka Lake regions of the South Island


• Taste - Manuka honey is a complex honey with a herbaceous flavor that has undertones of caramel, with a clean fresh finish and a moderately bitter taste. This honey has a very smooth, pleasant texture; thick, almost chewy and fudge-like in consistency. The honey can range from being a dark cream in color to a dark brown, and anything in between
• Independently tested - all our Manuka honey is independently tested and meets, at a minimum, the requirements set by both the New Zealand Government - Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) and the UMF Association
