Product description

UMF 10+ refers to Mānuka Honey’s unique anti-bacterial properties which help make stronger the body’s immune system. Extremely good for upset stomachs and bowels.

Only honey with a genuine UMF rating of 10 or more is regarded as to be of therapeutic value and, if a jar simply that the honey has been tested to a strength of 10, 15 etc., it’s going to most probably not contain honey that has reached that UMF level. In a similar way, if the jar just states that the honey is ‘active’ Mānuka Honey, it’s going to most likely not possess any UMF rating at all.

UMF Mānuka Honey contains hydrogen peroxide plus its own natural antibacterial properties. It is this unique, additional activity that gives it the special antibacterial healing potency and UMF 10+ Mānuka Honey has a very useful strength of therapeutic properties, ideal for maintaining the body’s well-being.

Is our honey ‘Raw’ Honey?
Even as there is not any specific definition for what “raw” means as it relates to honey, we imagine it describes a process that preserves the integrity of honey, including naturally occurring pollen, enzymes, propolis and amino acids. We imagine the intent of describing honey as “raw” is to ensure that the honey has not undergone any significant transformation from its original state in the hive, to when placed on the shelf. To ensure that there are no significant changes to the honey from hive to shelf, we routinely test for and avoid changes to diastase, a key enzyme in honey that is heat sensitive and therefore a good measure of heat-induced damage. So even as we don’t use the word “raw” in describing it ourselves, we do fit comfortably inside many people’s definition of it.

Every jar carries the NZ producer’s UMFHA licence number and the batch number.
