Authentic UMF 10+ New Zealand manuka honey; The UMF grading system assures you of purity & quality
Taku Honey carries both a UMF rating and its MG (methylglyoxal) content so that you can compare your Taku Honey with brands that rate their honeys by MG content.
Taku Honey's premium UMF rated honeys come beautifully packaged in a box, making them ideal for either home use or gifting.
Taku Honey's Maori heritage helped in creating a trusted honey supply network with access to premium Manuka forest land. Our beekepers are trained in our own beekeeping academy and care for the hives placed in pure, remote and rugged regions of New Zealand (often so remote, they have to be flown in by helicopter). Our own extraction and processing plants then pack the honey for you to enjoy.
Taku Honey is Maori for 'My Honey'. And, it's truly 'our honey' - from the land to the jar. 100% premium New Zealand honey.

Description

Authentic New Zealand UMF manuka honey is sought after worldwide. It is produced only in New Zealand and is well known for having desirable health properties.

European colonization of New Zealand allowed native manuka honey to be seen as a tradable product. This new expansion showcased the influence of Maori medicinal uses beyond New Zealand to a variety of cultures across the World.

Today Taku Honey draws inspiration from this historic showcase of Maori cultural values. Taku UMF manuka honey takes the lead in offering pure New Zealand manuka honey and its benefits to cultures and peoples outside of New Zealand.

UMF rating system:

The Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) rating is extremely important when comparing manuka honeys. Most authentic manuka honey is sold under the UMF. The UMF grading system appraises natural markers found in manuka honey and assures purity and quality. Each Taku Honey UMF manuka honey jar states its level of naturally occurring methylglyoxal (MG). MG has been identified as one of the main organic compounds responsible for the stable anti-bacterial activity for which manuka honey has become globally renowned. Taku Honey states the MG content of its honey, as well as its UMF level, so that direct comparisons can be made with other manuka honeys that show MG content on their labels. Products claiming to be manuka honey but showing neither a UMF nor an MG rating are unlikley to be genuine.
