Naturally sweet without the medicinal aftertaste found in some Manuka honeys.

Made from diverse Australian Leptospermum species, rich in MGO and uniquely potent.

Authentic, High-Grade Manuka

Lab-certified by independent AMHA- approved labs, with traceable batch system for your peace of mind.

Why Manuka Honey?

The quest for genuine natural remedies is fraught with compromise. Too often, products that boast purity are compromised by the addition of inferior ingredients to save on costs. Chemicals used during extraction can contaminate the processing phase, tarnishing the very essence of what should be 'natural.' Equally concerning is the disregard for sustainable practices, as short-term gains are prioritised over the long-term health of our planet.

Manuka Honey, however, is different. Unadulterated, evidence-backed, naturally processed, delicious and sustainable —it’s the epitome of what a natural wellness remedy should be.

The Hill Hive Difference

Our Manuka Honey is available in pure, liquid form setting it apart from the more commonly found creamed versions

Focused On Natural Wellness:

We only sell high-grade Australian Manuka (MGO 250+ and above) to ensure all of our honey is suitable for wellness applications. Australia’s Leptospermum species produce some of the highest MGO levels found in Manuka honey.

Minimally Processed:

Unlike many Manuka honeys that are creamed, Hill Hive Manuka honey comes in its natural liquid form. This means we can use very gentle processing methods to preserve all of the honey’s beneficial compounds and make it easier to use in drinks, food, and skincare.

Rich Vibrant Flavour:

Our Manuka honey is not only nutritious but also delicious. It offers a range of flavour profiles, reflecting Australia’s diverse Leptospermum varieties. Unlike many Manuka honeys that have a slightly bitter after-taste, Hill Hive honey is always smooth and enjoyable.

What is MGO?

MGO, or Methylglyoxal, is the key compound responsible for the unique antibacterial properties of Manuka honey. MGO is formed from DHA (Dihydroxyacetone), a compound in the nectar of Manuka flowers. Bees collect this nectar, and over time, DHA naturally converts into MGO, giving Manuka honey its potent antibacterial properties.

Several factors influence MGO potency in Manuka honey, including:

    NECTAR SOURCE

  • factor-icon

UNDERSTANDING MGO RATINGS

The MGO rating on a jar of Manuka honey indicates the concentration of Methylglyoxal it contains. Another commonly used rating system is UMF (Unique Manuka Factor). Though they represent slightly different aspects, higher ratings in either system mean more potent honey.

MGO Rating UMF Equivalent Suggested USE
MGO 100+ UMF 5+ Suitable for everyday use, providing general wellness benefits and perfect as a natural sweetener.
MGO 250+ UMF 10+ Offers enhanced wellness benefits, ideal for boosting vitality and energy.
MGO 500+ UMF 15+ Provides strong antibacterial properties, great for immune support and soothing sore throats.
MGO 800+ UMF 20+ Highly potent, excellent for digestive support, wound care, and skincare.

Great manuka honey, really nice taste and doesn’t have that medicinal taste at all. I bought it for overall immune support and to help my kids through winter, they love it too and it’s been great for the cold and flu season. Highly recommend!
