From responsible beekeeping to careful production and packaging, each step is managed under strict New Zealand standards.<\/p>\n<p>All laboratory testing is carried out in ISO 17025 accredited laboratories recognised by IANZ. Storage, processing and packaging operate under a Registered Risk Management Programme (RMP) in accordance with the requirements of the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI). This guarantees a controlled and fully traceable supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Extensive authenticity and quality testing is conducted both at raw material stage and on the final product. MNZ produces exclusively raw, unfiltered and unpasteurised monofloral MGO Manuka honey.<\/p>\n<h3>Manuka Honey Process<\/h3>\n<p>Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand during the short flowering period of the native Manuka tree. For only a few weeks each year, bees collect nectar from the blossoms, creating this rare and distinctive honey.<\/p>\n<p>After harvesting, the honey is carefully extracted from the honeycomb and immediately subjected to quality testing. It is stored at controlled natural temperatures (below 25\u00b0C) to preserve purity. When preparation for packing begins, the honey is gently warmed in controlled conditions up to a maximum of 35\u00b0C. This ensures optimal texture without compromising its natural characteristics.<\/p>\n<p>The honey is then packed and labelled according to its verified MGO level. A final quality check is performed before release. Because all stages are managed in-house, MNZ maintains full control over the entire production process.<\/p>\n<h3>Extensive Quality Testing<\/h3>\n<p>Monofloral Manuka honey requires careful handling, as it is particularly sensitive to heat and processing conditions. All MNZ testing procedures follow the official MPI guidelines to ensure authenticity and compliance.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 1 \u2013 Authenticity Verification<\/h4>\n<p>Each batch is tested according to the MPI definition for Manuka honey. Five scientifically defined markers must be present to classify honey as monofloral Manuka.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 2 \u2013 Chemical Markers<\/h4>\n<p>\n\u2022 3-Phenyllactic acid<br \/>\n\u2022 2-Methoxyacetophenone<br \/>\n\u2022 2-Methoxybenzoic acid<br \/>\n\u2022 4-Hydroxyphenyllactic acid\n<\/p>\n<h4>Step 3 \u2013 DNA Analysis<\/h4>\n<p>\n\u2022 DNA confirmation of Manuka pollen\n<\/p>\n<h4>Step 4 \u2013 MGO Testing<\/h4>\n<p>Methylglyoxal (MGO) is one of the key compounds measured in Manuka honey. Its concentration determines the MGO classification. Testing for MGO content is a requirement under MPI standards and is verified through laboratory analysis.<\/p>\n<h4>Step 5 \u2013 Additional Quality and Safety Tests<\/h4>\n<p>To ensure purity, freshness and safety, each batch is tested for:<\/p>\n<p>\n\u2022 Diastase activity<br \/>\n\u2022 Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF)<br \/>\n\u2022 C4 sugars (adulteration control)<br \/>\n\u2022 Aerobic plate count<br \/>\n\u2022 Escherichia coli<br \/>\n\u2022 Moisture content<br \/>\n\u2022 Tutin<br \/>\n\u2022 Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs)<br \/>\n\u2022 Yeast and mould<br \/>\n\u2022 Staphylococcus aureus<br \/>\n\u2022 Total coliforms\n<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-378255738\" class=\"col medium-12 small-12 large-4\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n\t\n  \n    <div class=\"row large-columns-1 medium-columns- small-columns- row-small slider row-slider slider-nav-reveal slider-nav-push\"  data-flickity-options='{&quot;imagesLoaded&quot;: true, &quot;groupCells&quot;: &quot;100%&quot;, &quot;dragThreshold&quot; : 5, &quot;cellAlign&quot;: &quot;left&quot;,&quot;wrapAround&quot;: true,&quot;prevNextButtons&quot;: true,&quot;percentPosition&quot;: true,&quot;pageDots&quot;: false, &quot;rightToLeft&quot;: false, &quot;autoPlay&quot; : false}' >\n\n  \n\t     <div class=\"product-small col has-hover product type-product post-506 status-publish first instock product_cat-uncategorized has-post-thumbnail taxable shipping-taxable purchasable product-type-simple\">\n\t<div class=\"col-inner\">\n\t\n<div class=\"badge-container absolute left top z-1\">\n\n<\/div>\n\t<div class=\"product-small box\">\n\t\t<div class=\"box-image\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"image-none\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manukanewzealand.com\/en_za\/product\/manuka-oil\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.manukanewzealand.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/manuka-essential-oil-mnz-1.webp\" class=\"attachment-woocommerce_thumbnail size-woocommerce_thumbnail\" alt=\"Manuka Oil 10ml.
