Manuka Honey is naturally self-preserving and does not require refrigeration after opening. For best quality, store it at a temperature between 20°C and 25°C.

If your environment is warmer than this, you may keep it in the refrigerator. Otherwise, store it in a cool, dry place, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

There are a number of different trials being conducted, including newly emerging work on determining what the special nature of UMF® mānuka is.

Genuine UMF® mānuka honey should include the presence of special chemical markers including Leptosperin and Methylglyoxal (MGO). The UMF® rating measures these attributes and assures purity and quality.

UMF® is the registered trademark of the UMF® Honey Association and can only be used by licensed operators that meet published standards such as regular monitoring and auditing of the quality of their honey. We provide a full batch trace service through our HoneyID™ tool, so that buyers are able to check the authenticity of each and every one of our jars of UMF® mānuka honey.

In short, all honey is active. It means the honey has some level of peroxide level. Unfortunately, there are no global restrictions on using the term active when describing honey, which can be misleading. Genuine UMF® mānuka honey has non-peroxide activity, which is the powerful antibacterial property not found in other honeys. If you want to be sure that the honey you are buying contains the best health properties, make sure you look for the UMF® grading and check the level of MGO. Don’t rely simply on a number printed on the label.

Mānuka honey is unique to New Zealand and to obtain pure mānuka honey is a specialised task for beekeepers. Mānuka honey is more difficult to extract and has a limited harvest period as it is only collected at certain times of the year. The unique properties of mānuka honey are well understood by consumers around the world, thereby creating a continually high level of demand.

Mānuka honey has been shown to have excellent benefits for the skin. Genuine mānuka honey is the perfect natural alternative for helping manage acne and skin infections. It’s also a natural moisturiser that improves skin hydration because it’s able to absorb moisture directly from the air and draw it into the skin.

One of the chemical markers used to indicate the level or rating of each UMF® mānuka honey is Methylglyoxal (or MGO). This is the chemical that was identified originally as giving mānuka honey its unique antibacterial characteristics. The UMF® level varies based on the amount of MGO present in the honey.

Honey is equal parts indulgence and pantry staple for your cooking. Great for glazing to get that lovely brown crispness, a natural preservative for pickles and sauces, it also retains moisture for deliciously dense, moist cakes, with a touch of colour.

Foodies love mānuka honey for its rich, complex bittersweet flavour that adds another dimension to food altogether. When using honey in a recipe, remember it's about twice as sweet as sugar.

Manuka Honey is safe for most people; however, individuals with a known allergy to honey, bee products, or pollen should avoid consuming Manuka Honey.

If you have a history of such allergies, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional before use.

Manuka Honey is graded based on its level of natural antibacterial activity, measured by the UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating and its equivalent MGO (Methylglyoxal) content.

As the grade increases, the concentration of active compounds becomes higher, making the honey more potent and suitable for more targeted and advanced use.

• UMF 5+ (MGO 83+) – A daily wellness grade, perfect for general health, natural energy, and as a healthier alternative to regular honey or sugar.
  
• UMF 10+ (MGO 261+) – A mid-level grade, ideal for those looking to enhance immunity, support digestion, and upgrade their daily wellness routine.
  
• UMF 15+ (MGO 512+) – A high-strength, medical-grade level, suited for more focused wellness support, including digestive health and immune system reinforcement.
  
• UMF 20+ (MGO 829+) – A premium, best-selling high-potency grade, designed for targeted use and those seeking stronger, more advanced support.
  
• UMF 25+ (MGO 1190+) – The highest, rarest, and most potent grade, offering maximum strength and the most concentrated natural activity, ideal for those seeking the ultimate level of wellness support.
  

All grades carry health benefits; however, grades from 15+ and above have consistently shown stronger and more noticeable results among our consumers over the past decade, making them the preferred choice for more targeted needs.
