Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our premium New Zealand honey
Product Information
Mānuka frames are gently warmed to the optimum temperature for extraction, protecting the MGO, DHA and leptosperin. Nothing is added.
Mānuka honey comes from bees working the flowers of the native mānuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium). It naturally contains methylglyoxal (MGO). The MGO number on the jar is the minimum amount per kilogram, measured by an independent lab, and we print a number below what the lab finds.
Crystallising is natural and a sign of real honey. It doesn't change the quality. To bring it back, stand the jar in warm (not hot) water and stir gently. Never microwave it: high heat changes the flavour and texture.
Store honey at room temperature in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the lid tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption. Do not refrigerate, as this speeds up crystallisation. Stored well, honey keeps for a long time. Enjoy it by the date on the jar.
