How to Identify Genuine Mānuka Honey

UMF Honey Association members represent over 80% of all exported retail packs of Mānuka honey products from New Zealand.

UMF recognised the need for people to quickly and confidently identify genuine Mānuka honey. That’s why they invested in a world-leading science programme which identified the unique signature compounds found in Mānuka honey.

Aoraki Peak Manuka Honey  carries  UMF – a quality mark – to clearly show a product has been tested by an independent laboratory to confirm it contains these signature compounds. Our quality mark can be found only on our members’ products.

Only the UMF grading system measures the signature compounds that science has proven to be found in genuine Mānuka honey from New Zealand.
