Egmont Honey

Mānuka honey is a rare and highly sought-after honey produced in New Zealand from the nectar of the native Mānuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium), which blooms for only a six-week window each year. This short flowering period, combined with the remote locations in which these trees grow, makes Mānuka honey extremely scarce and valuable. What truly sets Mānuka honey apart from regular honey is the superstar compound methylglyoxal (MGO) which contains unique antibacterial properties. The higher the MGO level, the more potent your Mānuka Honey is.

Methylglyoxal (MGO for short) is the superstar compound that gives Mānuka Honey its antibacterial properties and is an important measure of its potency. The higher the MGO level, the more concentrated, and therefore more powerful, the Mānuka Honey is.

Our Mānuka honey is sourced from remote, untouched native forests in New Zealand, where the majority of our hives are only accessible by helicopter. This environment allows our bees to gather pure nectar from the native Mānuka tree (Leptospermum scoparium). From there, our experienced beekeepers carefully extract the honey and deliver it to our purpose-built facility. It’s then filtered, creamed, and packed – ready for your jar. To ensure the highest quality, every batch undergoes independent laboratory testing to confirm it is non-GMO, glyphosate residue-free, and antibiotic-free, giving you confidence in its purity and authenticity.
