AUTHENTICITY
Our reputation for offering the world’s finest Mānuka Honey is built on quality control. Selection of the finest quality raw materials and quality systems for handling and testing. Each jar of Manuka Emporium® Mānuka honey carries several markers to provide assurance of product authenticity. The batch number records the journey of the honey from the beekeeper and the hives from which the honey was harvested. Each jar of Manuka Emporium® Honey can be traced back to its origins. 
BATCH NUMBER
The batch number provides a traceable record of the honey in each jar’s journey from hive to home. From this record, both Manuka Emporium® and New Zealand Government’s Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) can trace the lifecycle of the honey to the beekeeper and the numbered hives from which the honey was harvested.
CERTIFIED MONOFLORAL MANUKA HONEY
All Manuka Emporium® honey are laboratory tested to export standards to ensure it meets the New Zealand Government’s 2018 Mānuka Honey definition. Mānuka honey contains over 200 unique compounds and the tests comprise measurement of 5 key attributes (4 chemicals from nectar and 1 DNA marker from Mānuka pollen) to earn the definition of a mono-floral Mānuka honey and prove its origin from the New Zealand Mānuka tree.
CERTIFIED MGO RATING
The health and wellness benefits of Mānuka honey are directly related to the concentration of dietary methylglyoxal (MGO), which is reported in mg/kg. Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a naturally occurring organic compound found in Mānuka honey. This is the active ingredient in Mānuka honey which makes it unique and a key indicator for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. The higher the MGO rating, the more potent it is. UMF® is another common grading system that measures the strength of the Mānuka honey by drawing comparison to the activity of a disinfectant, phenol, which has known antibacterial properties.
MGO and UMF® rating systems are correlated and all offer reliable and trustworthy grading.
BEEKEEPER’S SIGNATURE
Each jar of Manuka Emporium® Mānuka honey has the signature of endorsement of our Master Beekeeper, Neil Stuckey, a pioneer of honey production in New Zealand since 1965.
