Our Commitment

The following forms our commitment and promise to you:

Quality

Onuku Honey creates Manuka honey that honors our connection with Mother Nature and our most precious pollinators, bees. Our uniquely flavored, sweet-tasting range is graded under the UMF® (Unique Manuka Factor) system, the official New Zealand grading standard that measures purity and potency by appraising the natural key indicators Leptosperin, DHA, and MGO (Methylglyoxal). Our UMF 20+ honey contains 830 mg/kg of naturally occurring MGO.

Distinctive Taste

Our honey delivers the taste of heavenly nectar from the best of what New Zealand has to offer. If you are looking for a thoughtful gift that is a new experience on the senses in a jar, we have it: UMF Certified 20+ Onuku Manuka Honey, presented in a premium gift box for any gourmet lover.

Backed by Research

Manuka honey is one of the most studied honeys in the world. We take every measure to preserve its natural MGO content and nutritional value from bee hive to bottle, so what you receive is the same honey the research was built on. Read about the published science on our Our Honey page.

Community

Our ability to give back to our community is precious to us and we endeavor to give back to it by employing local staff, local businesses and supporting local trade. We work with local Maori people from the Mount Tarawera region and the Onuku Maori Lands Trust (OMLT) that owns, administers and farms approximately 2363 hectares of land on foothills of the mountain and the shores of Lake Rotomahana. We also showcase our products at a wide selection of markets and stores, helping to sustain Mount Tarawera’s commerce and community.
