New Zealand mānuka is associated with the plant \u003cem\u003eLeptospermum scoparium\u003c\/em\u003e. Its floral identity, origin and grading information are useful starting points when choosing a jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt Sidr \u0026amp; Stone, we want those details to be clear. We are working towards a honey with documented sourcing and accurate product information. Our final country of origin, grade and handling specifications have not yet been confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eUnderstanding MGO and UMF\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMGO\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for methylglyoxal, a compound measured in Manuka honey. An MGO rating describes its concentration; it does not, by itself, establish the honey’s origin or certify every aspect of its quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUMF\u003c\/strong\u003e stands for Unique Mānuka Factor. It is a certification and quality assurance system run by the UMF Honey Association, with checks that extend beyond MGO alone. An MGO number and a UMF grade are not interchangeable labels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are general buying terms, not specifications for our forthcoming jar. We are not assigning an MGO number, a UMF grade or a certification claim until the relevant product information is confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eManuka honey questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is monofloral or multifloral Manuka honey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn New Zealand’s export framework, laboratory testing distinguishes monofloral mānuka honey from multifloral mānuka honey. These categories concern floral identity and are separate from an MGO measurement. We will state the applicable classification for our product when it is verified.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat should I look for when buying Manuka honey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLook for a clear origin, an identifiable supplier, accurate grading information and evidence supporting any certification shown. Compare jar sizes and confirmed specifications alongside the price. A large number on a label is only one part of the information needed to choose well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the difference between Manuka and Sidr honey?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir nectar comes from different plants.
