UMF
WELLBEING
The Mānuka tree is native to New Zealand. It’s medicinal value has been recognised by Māori for hundreds of years to treat skin and digestive ailments. Today, more and more research is confirming what our tangata whenua have long known. Mānuka Honey is not your average honey.
TARGETING THE UMF
“No other honey undergoes such rigorous testing by a bee-keeper’s country mile”
A honey’s Unique Mānuka Factor (UMF) rating is the
most important thing to understand when buying high-quality Mānuka Honey.
UMF is the official quality assurance standard. According to UMF, real New Zealand Mānuka Honey contains over 2,300 unique components that contribute to its complex flavour and remarkable benefits.
WHAT ABOUT MGO?
UMF is a complete, advanced grading system to indicate the honey quality and purity. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is one of four factors tested in a UMF rating.
MGO is the naturally occurring compound found only in Mānuka Honey. This is more straightforward to test as it is a standardised measure of methyglyoxal content as an indicator of quality
