This full-size jar from NEW ZEALAND HONEY CO provides an accessible entry point to genuine Manuka honey, combining traceable UMF certification with independent lab testing. Harvested and packed wholly in New Zealand, this monofloral raw honey offers a rich, fudge-like texture and herbaceous flavor ideal for everyday food uses, topical care routines, and household wellness rituals. The UMF 10+ / MGO 263+ grade is positioned as a reliable, verified baseline strength for those new to Manuka or who want regular use without specialty-grade pricing.

How is the potency verified and what do UMF 10+ and MGO 263+ mean?

The jar carries UMF 10+ certification, a label managed by the UMF Honey Association that reflects non-peroxide markers unique to Manuka. In addition, third-party laboratory testing confirms the MGO (methylglyoxal) concentration at 263+ mg/kg, giving two independent measures of the honey's characteristic compounds. This dual verification reduces uncertainty common in the Manuka market.

• Licensed UMF Honey Association member (#2060) ensures industry-standard grading.
• Independent laboratory tests report the MGO concentration (263+ mg/kg).
• Batch-level controls and random testing minimize mislabeling risk.

How can I use this 500 g jar day-to-day?

UMF 10+ is formulated for everyday culinary and topical uses: stir into tea or lemon water, drizzle over breakfast bowls, incorporate into recipes, or use in short-term skincare routines. The jar size provides roughly 80–100 servings at 1–2 teaspoons per serving, which translates to several weeks of regular use for one or more people. Keep it in your pantry and use as a natural sweetener or a nourishing topical mask when desired.
