Source – The Manuka tree only flowers between 2-6 weeks on average which makes Manuka honey a rare and precious resource having only a limited harvesting time frame. Often, remote locations are needed for the best conditions. Typically the higher the UMF grading and MGO levels, the rarer it becomes. Taste – Manuka honey is a complex honey that has undertones of caramel and a moderately bitter taste which increases with the UMF and MGO levels. This honey has a very smooth, pleasant texture; thick, almost chewy and fudge-like inconsistency, especially when chilled. The honey can range from being a dark cream in color to a dark brown. Independently tested – all our Manuka honey is independently tested and meets, at a minimum, the requirements set by both the New Zealand Government - Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) and the UMF Association. Testing results are available.
