Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand from nectar collected from the native Manuka plant, Leptospermum scoparium.
What does UMF™ mean?
UMF™ stands for Unique Manuka Factor. It is an independent quality-assurance system used to verify genuine New Zealand Manuka honey.
The UMF™ system tests four key quality factors associated with potency, authenticity, shelf life, and freshness. These include MGO, leptosperin, DHA, and HMF.
Why UMF™ 15+?
UMF™ ratings help indicate measured strength. According to the UMF Honey Association, UMF™ 15+ sits in a higher-potency range intended for people looking for more concentrated Manuka honey products.
