Premium New Zealand Manuka Honey

This Manuka honey is sourced exclusively from the native Manuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium), which thrives in the untouched wilderness areas of New Zealand. The remote location of these Manuka forests ensures the honey remains pure and free from environmental contaminants, whilst the unique climate and soil conditions contribute to the honey’s distinctive properties. Each batch is carefully harvested to preserve the natural compounds that make Manuka honey so highly valued.

Understanding UMF 20+ and MGO 830+

The UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) 20+ rating and MGO 830+ certification indicate this honey contains a significant concentration of methylglyoxal, a naturally occurring compound found in Manuka honey. Methylglyoxal is formed from dihydroxyacetone, which is present in the nectar of Manuka flowers. The MGO 830+ certification guarantees that every kilogram of this honey contains at least 830 milligrams of methylglyoxal, verified through rigorous laboratory testing by accredited facilities. This high MGO content places this honey in the premium category, representing exceptional quality and purity.

Laboratory Tested and Verified

Watson and Son Manuka Honey undergoes comprehensive testing and verification by accredited laboratories to ensure authenticity and quality. Each batch is analysed for its methylglyoxal content, confirming it meets the strict standards required for UMF 20+/MGO 830+ certification. This independent testing provides assurance that you’re receiving genuine, high-grade Manuka honey with verified MGO levels. The certification process ensures traceability from hive to jar, maintaining the integrity of this premium product.

Pure and Natural Composition

This Manuka honey contains 100% pure Leptospermum scoparium honey with no additives, preservatives, or artificial ingredients. The honey retains its natural enzymes, amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that occur naturally in raw honey. The careful harvesting and minimal processing methods employed by Watson and Son help preserve these beneficial natural compounds, ensuring you receive honey in its most authentic form.

How to Enjoy

Watson and Son Manuka Honey UMF 20+/MGO 830+ can be enjoyed in various ways as part of your daily routine. Take it directly from the spoon, stir it into warm (not boiling) beverages, spread it on toast, or incorporate it into smoothies and recipes. The rich, distinctive flavour profile characteristic of high-grade Manuka honey makes it a delicious natural sweetener. For optimal preservation of the honey’s natural properties, avoid exposing it to high temperatures.

Storage and Natural Characteristics

Store your Manuka honey in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality and natural properties. It’s important to note that this honey may naturally crystallise over time—this is a normal characteristic of pure, raw honey and actually indicates authenticity. If crystallisation occurs, you can gently warm the jar in warm water to return the honey to its liquid state. The crystallisation process does not affect the quality or MGO content of the honey.

Important Safety Information

This product is not suitable for infants under 12 months of age. This is a standard precaution for all honey products, as honey may contain bacterial spores that an infant’s developing digestive system cannot yet process safely. Adults and children over 12 months can safely enjoy this premium Manuka honey.
