Steens Manuka Honey MGO 515+ UMF 15+ — 7.9 oz Raw, Certified New Zealand Honey

Steens Manuka Honey MGO 515+ (UMF 15+) is a 100% raw, certified Manuka honey from New Zealand, bottled and sealed to preserve its natural strengths.

Harvested and jarred by the family-run Steens operation in New Zealand, this Manuka honey is produced using a scrape-and-separate method that keeps it raw and unpasteurised. Each 7.9 oz jar carries UMF 15+ and an MGO rating of 515+, providing traceable certification and a thick, crystalline texture that reflects minimal processing and careful handling.

What makes Steens Manuka Honey different from regular honey?

Steens Manuka Honey is sourced from Leptospermum scoparium blossoms unique to New Zealand and processed to retain natural enzymes and pollen. Certification through the UMF system confirms the presence of signature markers, and the high MGO rating indicates a potent Manuka factor compared with everyday honeys.

• UMF 15+ certified for authenticity and quality markers.
• MGO 515+ rating denotes elevated methylglyoxal levels.
• Raw, unpasteurised texture thanks to the scrape-and-separate method.
• Batch traceability for transparency and provenance.

How should I use this Manuka honey in daily life?

Steens Manuka Honey is versatile: enjoy it straight by the spoonful, stirred into warm drinks, or drizzled over breakfast and desserts. Its robust flavor and thick consistency also suit marinades, dressings, or a finishing touch on cheese and toast for a flavor boost without additives.

• Take a teaspoon directly for a concentrated serving.
• Stir into tea, coffee, or yogurt for natural sweetness.
• Drizzle over porridge, pancakes, or fruit for texture and taste.
• Use sparingly in recipes that benefit from a rich, honeyed finish.

How is the honey tested and certified?

Steens submits each lot for UMF verification, which tests for multiple signature compounds linked to Manuka authenticity. The MGO value is measured separately and labeled clearly, and each jar includes a batch number so you can trace origin and test results.

• UMF certification checks nine specific markers for authenticity.
• MGO 515+ printed on the label for clarity of potency.
• Batch number on every jar ensures traceability.
• Family-run production emphasizes consistent quality control.

How should I store the jar and what should I expect in texture?

Keep your Steens Manuka Honey sealed at room temperature away from direct heat. Because it is raw and unpasteurised, natural crystallisation and a dense, creamy texture are normal signs of minimal processing—and they do not reduce quality.

• Store in a cool, dry place; avoid refrigeration.
• Crystallisation indicates raw, unprocessed honey.
• Spoon or warm gently in a warm water bath to loosen if needed.
• Reseal jar after each use to maintain freshness.

Who is this for: Steens Manuka Honey MGO 515+ UMF 15+ is suited to anyone seeking a high-grade, traceable New Zealand Manuka honey—food lovers who value bold flavor and natural texture, home cooks looking for a premium ingredient, and shoppers who prioritize certified authenticity and transparent sourcing from a family-run producer.
