Have you switched over to Manuka honey yet?

Manuka Honey is one of New Zealand’s biggest exports. But what is it? And what makes it different to other honeys?

Manuka honey has become one of New Zealand’s biggest exports and is loved by many as their go-to honey for breakfast or even directly off the spoon. What does Manuka honey taste like?

The aroma of Manuka Honey is earthy and aromatic. Whilst the taste is sweet, with notes that can be described as slightly bitter, tangy or herbaceous. Manuka is thicker than table honey. If you turned the jar upside down, none would come out.

How can you tell it’s genuine Manuka?

As a rare and luxury food, Manuka has been subject to copies and fakes. To combat this the New Zealand Government created a scientific definition for Manuka. So all brands who export Manuka out of New Zealand must test their honey. The tests look for levels of five compounds as well as a DNA test to prove the honey is indeed from New Zealand.

What type of honey should I buy?

All Manuka Doctor honey has the New Zealand gold standard stamped on the lid. Plus every batch is tested five-times before sale so you can be confident it is the real deal. Importantly, Manuka Doctor’s honey is packed in New Zealand itself. So it’s not blended, diluted or adulterated in another third country before it gets to you.
