New Zealand Government to ensure that

only the highest quality honey is

produced and supplied consistently.

With robust testing and supply procedures in

place, we can share this sweet and

indulgent taste of New Zealand with honey

lovers worldwide at prices that are

simply irresistible.

Why is our Manuka Honey so good?

There are two main components of Manuka

Honey which gives it health benefits:

1. Hydrogen peroxide (HPA):

A naturally occurring antibiotic that is

found in all honey.

2. Methylglyoxal (MGO):

A powerful antibiotic compound which is

found in large quantities in Manuka Honey.

The higher the MGO rating in Manuka Honey,

the higher the level of anti-bacterial activity

in the honey, as MGO is found in the pollen

of the Manuka tree’s flowers which has a

short flowering period, it makes the

placement of hives and the timing of the

harvest crucial.

The Rating

Our Golden Treasures Manuka Honey comes

in a range of MGO levels from 5+ to 20+.

The MGO (methylglyoxal) rating is used for

measuring Manuka Honey’s strength, some

honey makers use UMF (Unique Manuka

Factor) to rate their honey. We like to use the

MGO rating number because it directly tells

you the amount of MGO in your

Golden Treasures Manuka Honey.

The unique flavour of Manuka Honey

During summer, the scent of the Manuka flower

attracts swarms of bees which produce the

Manuka Honey. It has a unique flavour profile

with a distinct earthy, herbaceous flavour

and thick silky texture, that’s of medium

sweetness and lasting taste sensation.

Enjoy the sweetness

Golden Treasures Manuka Honey can be

enjoyed straight from the jar as a premium

spread, a sweet drizzled topping or as an

accompaniment to cheese platters. Use

as part of a healthy diet and a great start

to each day, try it brewed with various

types of tea to help cleanse the stomach.

The unique location in New Zealand

From temperate sub-tropical forests to

bush clad hills and volcanic fertile

mountains, the honey is sourced from the

Northland region in New Zealand, known

as the winter-less North. Due to this warm

and sunny climate, the Manuka bush thrives

in the area, so the bees are able to produce

the honey’s unique flavour characteristics.

FAQ’s

What is Manuka Honey?

Manuka Honey is a unique type of honey

that comes from the Manuka flower nectar

gathered by the bees in New Zealand. The

Manuka shrub is native to New Zealand,

and has a very short annual bloom making

it rare and highly sought after.

How can I tell this is 100%

authentic Manuka Honey?

We are aware of the supply of counterfeit

Manuka Honey for sale in some markets. We

take great care to source our honey from

bee-keepers who have high standards and

strict control of their hives, where each variety

& batch can be traced back to a unique

floral source and region.

Why is Manuka Honey more

expensive than other honeys?

To obtain pure Manuka Honey is quite a

unique task for bee-keepers. It is generally

more difficult to extract because of the

remote locations the hives are placed in,

but also that it has a limited harvest period

and can only be collected at certain times of

the year. The unique properties of Manuka

Honey are well understood by consumers

across the world, which creates a continually

high level of demand for this natural and

delicious New Zealand honey

How can I store it?

When storing the honey, keep it out of direct

sunlight and away from high temperatures.

Sometimes honey can naturally crystallise,

especially in colder climates. It’s still fine

to eat and if you place it in a warm spot

it will soften the crystallised granules and

return it to a smooth texture.

Can I use it in my cooking?

Great for glazing to get that delicious crispy

texture, or as a natural preservative for

pickles and sauces. It is also ideal for using in

cakes and baking to retain moisture and add

a rich touch of colour. Most of all,

Manuka Honey is much loved for its rich,

complex bitter-sweet flavour that adds

another dimension to food. Remember that

when using honey in a recipe, go easy

because it’s sweeter than sugar.

How do you harvest it?

The best Manuka Honey is found in the most

remote locations across New Zealand. When

our dedicated team of bee-keepers access

these areas to harvest the honey, they take

lots of care to ensure minimal impact on

the environment.

Some brands refer to UMF,

and some refer to MGO,

what’s the difference?

Some honey producers use UMF (Unique

Manuka Factor) to grade their honey. The

UMF rating takes into account the honey’s

concentration of DHA (dihydroxyacetone),

Methylglyoxal and Leptosperin. Others

prefer to use the MGO rating number,

because it’s directly proportional to the

amount of methylglyoxal in the honey. We

use MGO to grade our honey, and batch test

to guarantee the level of MGO in every jar.
