Watson and Son Manuka Honey UMF 15+/MGO 512+

Description

Watson and Son Manuka Honey UMF 15+/MGO 512+ represents premium New Zealand Manuka honey, certified to contain at least 512mg of naturally occurring methylglyoxal (MGO) per kilogram. Harvested from the nectar of Leptospermum scoparium flowers in remote and pristine regions of New Zealand, this authentic Manuka honey offers the quality and purity that discerning consumers seek.

What Makes This Manuka Honey Special

This Manuka honey carries dual certification: UMF 15+ and MGO 512+. The UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) rating system is a globally recognised quality trademark that ensures the honey meets strict standards for purity and quality. The MGO rating indicates the concentration of methylglyoxal, a naturally occurring compound that serves as a key marker of authentic Manuka honey. Every batch is tested and verified by an accredited independent laboratory, providing assurance of its methylglyoxal content and authenticity.

The bees that produce this exceptional honey forage exclusively on Manuka tree blossoms in some of New Zealand’s most untouched landscapes. These remote locations, far from urban development and agricultural activity, contribute to the purity and quality of the final product. The result is a rich, complex honey with the distinctive flavour profile that Manuka honey is renowned for worldwide.

Understanding Methylglyoxal (MGO)

Methylglyoxal is a naturally occurring compound found in the nectar of Manuka flowers. When bees collect this nectar and transform it into honey, the methylglyoxal content becomes concentrated. This compound is unique to Manuka honey and serves as a reliable marker of authenticity. The MGO 512+ certification means this honey contains a minimum of 512 milligrams of methylglyoxal per kilogram, placing it in the premium category of Manuka honey products.

Quality You Can Trust

Watson and Son maintains rigorous quality standards throughout the production process. From hive to jar, this Manuka honey undergoes careful handling to preserve its natural properties. The honey is:

• Sourced from verified Manuka tree regions in New Zealand
• Tested by accredited independent laboratories
• Certified to meet UMF 15+ and MGO 512+ standards
• Packaged to maintain freshness and quality

How to Enjoy

This premium Manuka honey can be enjoyed in various ways as part of your daily routine. Many people prefer to take it directly from the spoon to appreciate its rich, distinctive flavour. Others incorporate it into their morning routine by adding it to warm beverages, spreading it on toast, or stirring it into yoghurt or smoothies. The recommended serving is approximately 10 grams (about one to two teaspoons).

For optimal enjoyment and to maintain the honey’s natural properties, avoid adding it to very hot liquids. Instead, allow beverages to cool slightly before stirring in the honey. This gentle approach helps preserve the honey’s natural characteristics.

Storage and Natural Characteristics

Store your Manuka honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality. Like all pure, raw honey, this Manuka honey may naturally crystallise over time. This crystallisation is a normal process and actually indicates the honey’s purity and minimal processing. If crystallisation occurs, you can gently warm the jar in a bowl of warm water to return it to its liquid state.

Important Information
