Manuka Honey UMF™ 15+ MGO 514+

At Cherry City Honey, we know that the energy of the environment is captured in every jar of our honey. This deep connection with nature is why we ensure that all our honey is pure, ethically sourced, and safe for you and your family.

100% Genuine New Zealand Manuka Honey

Our Manuka honey is produced exclusively in Aotearoa, New Zealand, where every step of the process – from foraging and harvesting to packing, labeling, and testing – is carried out with care. This ensures that what you’re receiving is 100% genuine, as stated on the jar. By choosing our Manuka honey, you can be confident that it meets the highest quality standards, backed by New Zealand’s stringent honey regulations.

Pure Monofloral Manuka Honey

Our Manuka honey is primarily sourced from the Manuka flower, a native plant of New Zealand. As our bees travel from flower to flower, they gather nectar from a variety of blooms, but we ensure that the honey remains predominantly Manuka by rigorously testing each batch. These tests confirm the presence of the unique natural markers that make Manuka honey so sought after. Our honey is an organic, living food, which means it still contains all the natural pollen and enzymes produced by the bees. Every pot is tested for agrichemicals and other impurities to ensure purity. We are proud to offer Non-GMO verified honey, certified as glyphosate residue-free, and recognized as Kosher and Halal.

Sustainably Sourced and Packaged

The Manuka tree plays an important role in the regeneration of New Zealand’s forests, contributing to local ecosystems. The honey we produce is a reflection of our commitment to protecting the environment. Approximately 95% of our packaging comes from recycled materials, and we strive to improve wherever we can. Our packaging is made from 100% recyclable PETE 1 plastic, which is free from BPA and widely accepted in recycling programs worldwide. Our card paper is sourced from sustainably managed forests, and we are constantly working to reduce our reliance on virgin materials. By choosing our honey, you’re supporting sustainable practices that protect our planet.

Traceability and Transparency

We believe in complete transparency when it comes to the quality of our Manuka honey. Every jar comes with a QR code that you can scan to view its UMF™ certificate. This certificate includes detailed information on the UMF™ grading, MGO levels, and the specific region in New Zealand where the honey was harvested. Our honey is independently tested in government-approved laboratories, ensuring it meets the highest standards of purity and quality.

The Power of Manuka Honey’s Natural Compounds

Manuka honey is known for its potent natural compounds, which give it its remarkable antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties. We rigorously test for these four key natural markers in every batch to guarantee the UMF™ standard:

• Methylglyoxal (MGO): The compound responsible for Manuka’s strong antibacterial and antimicrobial effects.
• Leptosperin: The marker that authenticates Manuka honey and distinguishes it from other types of honey.
• Dihydroxyacetone (DHA): A compound that helps determine the potential MGO levels, which signify the honey’s quality.
• Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF): An organic compound that indicates the honey’s freshness.

Certified World-Class Quality

Every batch of our Manuka honey undergoes independent scientific testing to ensure its authenticity. The UMF™ grading system guarantees the purity and quality of the honey, confirming that the natural markers found in Manuka honey are present at the appropriate levels. This means that when you purchase our honey, you’re receiving a product that meets the highest standards of excellence.

Certifications You Can Trust

Our honey is certified Non-GMO and glyphosate-free, ensuring it is free from genetically modified organisms and harmful chemicals. It is also Halal-certified by the Federation of Islamic Associations of New Zealand (FIANZ) and carries the New Zealand Fernmark, which verifies our status as a trusted exporter. Furthermore, our MGO certification provides transparency about the exact MGO levels in each jar, so you know exactly what you’re getting.
