Manuka honey

From the hive to the shelf, trust Comvita UMF™ Manuka Honey

Manuka honey is one of nature's special gifts. Sourced from some of New Zealand's most pure and remote locations, it is renowned for its unique flavour. Manuka Honey is recognised worldwide for its unique properties not found in ordinary honey.

All Comvita® UMF™ Manuka Honey is traceable to its source - from the hive to the shelf. We work closely with our bees and beekeepers to produce UMF™ Manuka Honey of the highest quality. From New Zealand’s rugged central North Island volcanic plateau, to the bush clad hills of Northland, there are many factors that can affect the quality of Manuka honey - it’s a natural product so the sun, wind and rain all play a part.

How It’s Made

Back in 1974, our founders Claude and Alan believed in the power of nature. They carefully harvested every drop of their precious Manuka honey, working in harmony with nature's system. Four decades later, we stand by their beliefs, protecting every perfect drop all the way from its pure New Zealand source to you.

In early summer, the bees forage in the delicate Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) flowers. It’s a busy start to the honey season. Our beekeepers are the experts in the honey crop, the Comvita® quality system and understand that only the best honey will make the Comvita® Honey quality grade. No other company knows Manuka Honey like Comvita®.

Whether we're helicoptering our UMF™ Manuka honey from remote hives deep in the bush of Kaimanawa, New Zealand, or analysing it in our world-leading laboratory, no length is too great to go to achieve perfection. Which is why we ensure every drop is also independently certified for quality, purity and authenticity by the UMF™ Honey Association.
