To appreciate what makes mānuka honey extraordinary in contrast to other kinds of honey, you have to take a journey through nature. Here, we take a moment to understand the origin and process behind New Zealand's famous mānuka honey.

• Honey vs mānuka honey. Honey's beneficial antibacterial properties are a result of hydrogen peroxide. This unstable chemical compound degrades over time due to light and catalysing enzymes. Consequently, the management of hydrogen peroxide levels in honey is unreliable, and thus its benefits and potency inconsistent. By contrast, mānuka honey's unrivalled antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties result from dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a compound found in the mānuka flower's nectar. As mānuka honey matures, DHA gradually converts to methylglyoxal (MGO), and it is this compound that the UMF® test assesses.
• UMF®. As a trusted standardised grading system, the application and use of the UMF trademark signify the product's adherence to these standards. This test assesses the batches' quality and purity by evaluating the presence and potency of DHA, MGO and Leptosperin. The varying presence of these chemicals, as well as their relation to each other, gives each batch a score. This number is printed on the bottle and represents a seal of approval and confirmation of strength.
• The mānuka flower. In centuries past, wellness therapies would include a lot of flower components. The mānuka plant is no different, with mānuka extracts being used as an intestinal worming medicine and as an antibacterial poultice by the Maori. It's the antibacterial, antiviral and anti-inflammatory qualities in these flowers that bees transfer into their honey. The potency of each mānuka batch is dependent on climate as well as the mānuka plantation's DHA levels and area covered by the plantation in relation to the beehives. Additionally, the flowering season is relatively short. It varies between regions, with the mānuka trees in Northland flowering for only for 6 to 12 weeks. While mānukas in Taranaki flower for less than six weeks.
