Steens Manuka Honey UMF 24+ (MGO 1122+) 7.9 oz — Raw, Certified New Zealand Potency

Steens Manuka Honey UMF 24+ (MGO 1122+) is a 100% raw, certified New Zealand manuka honey, bottled and sealed to preserve its potent natural profile.

Harvested and jarred in New Zealand using the Scrape & Separate method, this Steens manuka honey is unpasteurised and retains its thick, slightly crystalline texture and concentrated manuka markers. Each 7.9 oz jar carries both the UMF 24+ and MGO 1122+ indicia, confirming a high level of authentic manuka-derived compounds. The family-owned Steens operation includes batch traceability so you can verify origin and quality.

What makes UMF 24+ and MGO 1122+ important in manuka honey?

UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) and MGO (methylglyoxal) are two widely recognized ways to quantify manuka honey's distinctive chemical profile. A UMF 24+ rating and MGO 1122+ indicate a very high concentration of the markers used to assess purity and strength. Steens' dual labeling gives a clear, traceable measure of potency.

• UMF 24+ verifies multiple signature compounds for authenticity.
• MGO 1122+ measures a high methylglyoxal concentration.
• Batch numbers provide traceability back to the harvest.

How is this Steens honey different from standard supermarket honey?

Unlike blended or pasteurised table honey, Steens Manuka Honey is raw and unpasteurised, produced with a Scrape & Separate technique that preserves natural enzymes and a thicker texture. It is certified to specific manuka standards rather than simply labeled ‘manuka.’ The result is a denser, richly flavored honey with documented potency.

• Raw, unpasteurised processing preserves natural components.
• Crystalline texture from the gentle separation method.
• Certified UMF and MGO values vs. unverified labels.

How should I store and use Steens UMF 24+ manuka honey?

Keep the jar tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain texture and potency. Manuka honey is versatile: stir into warm beverages, drizzle over yogurt, or use as a finishing ingredient. Do not microwave the jar; warmth can degrade delicate components.

• Store sealed at room temperature, away from heat and light.
• Use as a spread, ingredient, or sweetener—add after cooking where possible.
• Check batch number for traceability and quality assurance.
