Honey Pot price: from $38.21
Sourced from remote, native forests in the Marlborough region, our Black Label Mānuka Honey is some of the highest quality monofloral Mānuka that New Zealand has to offer.
Mountain Valley’s Mānuka Honey (MGO 356+) is certified as having at least 356mg of Methylglyoxal per kilogram.
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is a naturally occurring compound and is largely responsible for Mānuka’s powerful antibacterial effect. While most raw honeys have antibacterial properties, the high levels of MGO give Mānuka an extra antibacterial punch. This discovery has made Manuka Honey the most sought after honey in the world.
Tested to meet the strict MPI guidelines for monofloral Mānuka Honey, every jar of Mountain Valley Mānuka Honey is certified for its purity. We hold every single jar to the same strict standard, whether it is destined for Kiwi pantries or heading overseas.
Using opaque amber jars to protect the honey’s beneficial properties from sunlight, we’ve done everything we can to ensure you receive the highest quality and most loved Mānuka available.

Manuka honey is produced by bees from the nectar from the Manuka plant (Leptospermum scoparium). Unfortunately, the labelling of Manuka honey is rather more confusing.
