Steens Manuka Honey MGO 515+ is a raw, 100% certified UMF 15+ Manuka honey from New Zealand, bottled and sealed to preserve its natural crystalline texture and rich flavor.

Harvested and packaged in New Zealand, this 17.6 oz jar of Steens Manuka Honey carries a high MGO rating of 515+ and UMF 15+ certification. It uses a Scrape & Separate method to keep the honey unpasteurised and raw, maintaining its characteristic thick, crystalline body and distinctive, earthy-sweet taste. The jar is resealable and travel-ready so you can keep authentic Manuka honey at home or on the go.

How is this Manuka honey different from regular honey?

Steens Manuka comes from New Zealand Leptospermum scoparium flowers and is independently certified for methylglyoxal (MGO) and the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). That certification identifies higher naturally occurring markers that set it apart from typical floral honeys. It is also left raw and unpasteurised to preserve texture and flavor.

• Certified UMF 15+ and MGO 515+ reported on label
• Raw, unpasteurised Scrape & Separate processing
• Distinctive thick, crystalline consistency compared with liquid honeys
• Bottled and sealed in New Zealand for traceability

What does 'raw & unpasteurised' and 'Scrape & Separate' mean for me?

Raw and unpasteurised means the honey has not been heat-treated, which preserves its natural enzymes, aromas and texture. The Scrape & Separate technique gently removes honey from comb off the hive, leading to a crystalline structure rather than a fully liquid syrup. Expect a richer mouthfeel and more complex flavor profile.

• No high-heat processing—flavor and texture preserved
• Natural crystallization rather than forced filtering
• Easy spooning and controlled drizzling from the jar
• Sealed in New Zealand to retain authenticity

How can I use Steens Manuka Honey in everyday life?

Its thick texture and potent flavor make it versatile across breakfasts, snacks and culinary uses. Spoon it over yogurt, toast, or porridge, blend into dressings, or use sparingly as a finishing drizzle on cheese and roasted fruit. Because of the high MGO level, a small amount goes a long way for flavor enhancement.

• Stirred into hot or cold beverages for sweetness and depth
• Spread on toast, pancakes, or stirred into yogurt
• Used as a glaze or finish on roasted vegetables and desserts
• Stored in a cool, dry place to keep crystalline texture

How should I store and serve this jar to keep quality?

Keep the jar tightly sealed in a cool, dry cupboard away from direct sunlight to maintain its crystalline body and flavor. If the honey becomes firmer over time, a short warm-water bath can gently loosen it without damaging natural properties. Avoid refrigerating, as colder temperatures accelerate hard crystallization.

• Store sealed, away from heat and sunlight
• Warm jar briefly in a water bath to loosen texture
• Do not microwave; preserve natural character
• Use clean, dry utensils to scoop to prevent contamination
