Purity & Science

What is UMF?

UMF is New Zealand’s independent grading system for Mānuka honey. Every batch is tested for four naturally occurring markers, so the grade on the label is the grade in the jar.

MGO

Potency

Methylglyoxal, the key measure of strength. The higher the UMF number, the higher the minimum MGO.

Leptosperin

Authenticity

Comes only from Mānuka nectar and can’t be made artificially, so it confirms the honey is genuine.

DHA

Shelf life

The natural compound that becomes MGO as Mānuka honey matures in the jar.

HMF

Freshness

Shows the honey hasn’t been overheated or stored badly.

The people behind Rare

Beekeepers first.

Rare New Zealand was founded by Michael, Luke and Thomas, brought together by a shared love of bees, the land and a commitment to premium New Zealand Mānuka honey. From managing hives and harvesting each season to testing and packing, they stay close to every step from our hives to your home.

Where Rare begins.

Our hives sit in remote New Zealand mānuka country, some of it only reachable by helicopter. Our beekeepers bring in every harvest, then each batch is tested and certified before it reaches your jar.
