Mānuka Honey | UMF™ 25+
About Mānuka
Mānuka is the Māori name for the native New Zealand plant, Leptospermum Scoparium. The Taiho (Earth/Nature) of the endemic flora is rooted in New Zealand tradition.
The sturdy, scrub-like plant is usually found in remote areas of the bush or coastline, and is identifiable due to its dark green colour and small white flowers.
For centuries the flora has been embraced by Māori culture - revered for its natural wellness properties and versatility. Traditional uses include an infusion of the bark, used both externally and internally as a sedative (and to treat scalds and burns). The ash from the bark was also rubbed onto the skin to treat skin diseases, while vapor from the boiled leaves was used for colds.
Health and wellness benefits of the Mānuka plant are practiced today through medical, food and skincare applications.
Mānuka Honey
Mānuka honey is derived from the Mānuka plant and is both rich in taste, and natural properties.
The key well-being factor in Mānuka honey is its additional antimicrobial activity. This is what makes it so unique. This activity includes unique chemicals such as Methylglyoxal (MG), and others. MG is formed by a chemical reaction that occurs after the bees have processed the Mānuka nectar into honey. The levels of this activity present in the honey are reflected in the UMF™ grading system.
The Mānuka plant flowers annually, for a mere couple of weeks. This means the window for producing Mānuka honey is short.
Our honey is harvested, independently tested, certified and packed in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Understanding The Unique Mānuka Factor (UMF™)
The UMF™ grading system is specific to New Zealand – the higher the UMF™ number, the greater the presence of Methylglyoxal (MG) and other natural properties.
All of our Mānuka honey products are UMF™ certified to ensure authenticity and grading.
The UMFHA™ (Unique Mānuka Factor Honey Association) was founded in New Zealand in 1998 as an independent body to authenticate and grade Mānuka honey.
The goal is to both protect the industry, and the consumer. UMF™ is widely recognised as the only association to actively test and uphold the industry to a specific standardised model.
All New Zealand Mānuka honey that displays the UMF™ grading must be registered and licenced with the UMFHA™..
