๐Ÿฏ What Is Manuka Honey?

Manuka honey is a rare, high-value honey made by bees that forage on the native Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium), found in Australia and New Zealand.

What makes it special?
Manuka honey is known for its natural antibacterial activity, deeper flavour, and unique MGO rating system.

๐Ÿ”ฌ What Does MGO Mean?

MGO stands for Methylglyoxal, the naturally occurring compound used to measure Manuka honey strength. In simple terms: the higher the MGO number, the stronger and more potent the honey.

Every batch of Secret Honey Manuka honey is independently lab-tested and labelled with verified MGO content.
