New Zealand's Manuka Honey Industry and exploded in size in the last decade.

This was driven by the identfication of its key active compound, Methly Glyoxal, in 2012.

This has seen Manuka Honey companies grow from around 10 key operators to over 400,

in just over a decade.   As a country we export around 20,000 tonnes of honey to over 40 countries.

With global demand for NZ Manuka Honey ever increasing, NZ honey has grown to

become the highest value per-Kg in the world.

Join Nick for a deep dive into this incredible honey, and discover its history in New Zealand.

We will explain the full process in its creation, from flower to hive, from hive to jar.


Taste some premium quality 5+, 10+, 15+, 20+ Manuka Honey, and learn how to distinguish

between the differing strengths based on their taste profile.


We will explain both the UMF and MGO Rating Systems, so you understand

what the numbers on the labels mean, and what strength of Manuka is best for you.
