Our manuka honey new zealand is pure manuka honey which comes from the genus Leptospermum scoparium popularly known as the manuka plant. The purity of manuka honey new zealand is gauged by the presence of a compound called MGO, which stands for Methylglyoxal.

MGO is naturally found in adequate quantities in the Leptospermum scoparium species only. It is considered to be the main trigger for the taste, flavor and aroma of the manuka honey. The honey has medium sweetness and a lasting taste. There is usually a bitter aftertaste which includes a nutty flavor.

The MGO content in honey increases as the honey ripens. But the entire process requires great expertise to make sure that the honey is handled properly. Since the MGO content varies in all honeys, you can check the amount of MGO in a specific bottle of manuka honey by checking for the certified MGO content information.
