Discover Manuka, bold and naturally active

We produce Australian Manuka honey from the nectar of Leptospermum nitens grown in Western Australia. You get a bold, slightly bitter yet sweet flavour with a smooth finish, packed and bottled raw so the natural profile remains intact. We show MGO on every jar so you can choose a level of measured activity that suits how you enjoy honey. If you are searching for manuka honey, Australian manuka honey or mānuka honey, you will find a clear range here with straight answers on origin, testing and taste.

Our bees forage on stands of the manuka plant, gathering nectar when flowers open and conditions align. Colour and texture can vary from batch to batch. That variation reflects season and site, not processing. We keep handling minimal, avoid heat treatment, and bottle in glass to protect flavour, aroma, water content and sheen from hive to jar.

Manuka strength explained in plain English

You will see MGO on every label. MGO stands for methylglyoxal, a compound associated with the non peroxide activity found in Manuka. Eucalypt honeys such as Jarrah express activity differently and are shown with total activity. Think of MGO and TA as two measuring systems for different honey varieties rather than a single ladder. Higher MGO numbers indicate higher measured activity. We test every batch at accredited laboratories and print the result on pack so you can check before you add to cart.

People often ask about Unique Manuka Factor. UMF is a grading system used mainly for New Zealand mānuka honey. We do not grade with UMF. We use MGO for Australian Manuka, which keeps selection simple when you compare our product range. If you want to compare across regions, remember that New Zealand mānuka is commonly Leptospermum scoparium and Australian Manuka here is Leptospermum nitens. Both are part of the manuka family, both are raw honey when bottled without heat, and both offer a strong flavour with a characteristic earthy note.

Taste, origin and varietal character

Australian Manuka is rich and aromatic with a firm, lingering taste. Many describe it as strong, with a hint of resin and a gentle acidity that balances the sweetness. A warm season can deepen colour and concentrate aroma. A cooler season may yield a lighter tone. Texture remains smooth when stored well. You can stir a teaspoon through warm water or tea once it has cooled, drizzle over oats and fruit, spread on toast, or pair with cheese. If you enjoy tasting other types beside Manuka, try Jarrah, Marri or Karri to see how Western Australian honeys differ by flower and landscape.

We manage production in Australia with careful site selection, responsible beekeeping and controlled harvesting windows. Hives are placed so bees can work clean forage far from heavy industry. Extraction uses cool temperatures and light filtration. Nothing is added. Nothing is removed beyond wax and large particles. The goal is simple, deliver a natural honey that tastes of place.

What we do and do not claim

You will see many phrases online, natural antibacterial, antimicrobial properties, anti inflammatory effects, wound healing, topical treatment, soothe sore throats, treat infections, resistant bacteria. We do not make medical claims. We do not present Manuka as medicine, alternative medicine or a product to treat, heal or prevent any condition. We focus on food, origin, flavour and verified activity numbers. If you are exploring health benefits in general writing about honey, read with care and speak to a professional for personal advice. Honey is not suitable for infants under twelve months due to the known risk of infant botulism. That guidance applies to all honey products.

Why MGO matters, and where hydrogen peroxide fits

Manuka shows non peroxide antimicrobial activity measured by MGO. Many other honeys show activity related to hydrogen peroxide formed within the honey matrix. Both are part of the wider picture of how honey behaves, yet they are different mechanisms. Our labels reflect this difference. Australian Manuka shows MGO. Eucalypt honeys such as Jarrah show total activity. This clear split avoids confusion and keeps shopping straightforward.

Our Manuka range by MGO

You can choose from familiar MGO steps so selection is easy.

  • MGO two hundred sixty three plus, a good entry for those new to Manuka.
  • MGO three hundred plus, a balanced choice for everyday taste.
  • MGO four hundred plus, a stronger profile many people enjoy in tea.
  • MGO five hundred fourteen plus, a rich option with a deeper finish.
  • MGO eight hundred twenty nine plus, a high MGO jar for those who prefer intensity.
  • MGO one thousand five hundred plus, our highest band for those who want a very strong flavour and the highest measured activity on our shelf.

Every jar is independently tested. Labels show varietal, MGO content and pack size. Trade customers can request certificates for a specific batch.

How to enjoy Manuka every day

Keep it simple and keep it tasty. Stir a teaspoon through tea once it has cooled a little. Blend with warm water and lemon for a soothing drink. Drizzle over yoghurt, berries and oats. Spread on warm sourdough. Whisk with olive oil and vinegar for a dressing with depth. Finish a cheese board with a small dish at room temperature for a slow, glossy drizzle. Avoid high heat so the raw character remains intact.

Australian Manuka and New Zealand mānuka

People often compare Australian manuka honey with New Zealand manuka honey. Both are celebrated. Both come from bees gathering nectar from manuka flowers. New Zealand producers frequently use UMF and work to definitions set by the Ministry for Primary Industries. In Australia, we grade with MGO and follow national standards, independent testing and clear labelling. If you enjoy New Zealand honey and want to try an Australian expression, begin with a mid range MGO jar and judge by taste and texture.

Quality, packaging and service

We bottle raw honey in glass and store in cool conditions to protect aroma, flavour and water content. We avoid ultra filtered processes that strip the natural profile. Jars carry clear lot codes so you can match a jar to a batch if you need details. Orders are packed with care and dispatched promptly. Free shipping Australia-wide is available when your order reaches the current threshold. Below that level, the exact charge is shown before you pay. You receive tracking by email and friendly support from our Western Australian team during the working week.

Why choose our Australian Manuka

You get a single origin Western Australian product, tested and labelled with clear MGO numbers. You get a smooth, rich taste drawn from local flowers and careful harvesting. You get straightforward information without hype, from the bees that forage the manuka plant to the jar you open at home. If you are comparing options and wondering which MGO level to select, begin in the middle, taste, then move up or down on your next order.

Your next step

Explore the Manuka product range, select the MGO level that matches how you enjoy honey, and add a jar to your cart. If you want to compare regions, try a New Zealand mānuka next to our Australian Manuka and judge the flavour for yourself. If you run a shop, café or clinic, ask about bulk formats and batch certificates. We pack and send with care so you can enjoy a true Western Australian Manuka at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it raw?

Yes, we bottle raw and avoid heat treatment.

Is it organic?

Where a batch has organic certification we label it clearly. Not every site is certified.

How long is the shelf life?

Honey kept sealed and stored well remains stable for long periods. Crystallisation varies by variety and storage but does not affect safety.

Why is the flavour strong?

Manuka has a naturally strong flavour shaped by flower, nectar and season. Many people value that depth.

Can I compare with Jarrah?

Yes. Compare MGO for Manuka with total activity on Jarrah, knowing they are different systems. Choose by taste first.
