Careful Handling During Processing
ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey is handled with the greatest
of care to retain all its natural goodness and purity.
The hydrogen peroxide antibacterial property in honey
can be easily destroyed by heating during the packing
process. ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey is handled in
a special way that ensures the hydrogen peroxide property
is not damaged. |

Dark
amber plastic jar protects ManukaUSA
ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey is protected as much as
possible from the damaging
effects of sunlight by dark amber plastic jars.
Top Quality Packing Plant.
ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey is packed in New Zealand
in a very high standard
sterile plant, a standard far higher than usual foodgrade
honey packing facilities. |
| |
Chilled Storage
The honey is stored chilled until sale to maintain the
high quality of our honey.
Strict Testing Procedures
Every batch of ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey is
tested for antibacterial activity after packing guaranteeing
it has a UMF rating of 16 or higher. The honey is also
tested for antibacterial activity at least |
 |
| |
twice
before it is packed. The ManukaUSA gold seal of quality
applied to the white tamper-proof lid of the jar indicates
the UMF rating of the honey - very high UMF16 - and that
ManukaUSA Apiaries are licensed users of the name UMF. |
| |
 |
|
Intensive Hive Management |
| |
Natrolife's partners in New Zealand run their hives intensively to
ensure the production of manuka honey is as pure
as possible, with as higher antibacterial quality as
possible.
The apiaries (beehives) are strategically located near
extensive areas of manuka bushes, the flowers of
which produce the special nectar with the very high
levels of UMF.

What Is The Honey Like? |
| |
Golden Smooth Granulation.
ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey is a light golden honey.
It is specially handled to ensure
it has a fine silky-smooth granulation. Granulation is
a natural process of honey - to remain
runny honey would have to be subjected to high heat and
finely filtered. (But high heating
destroys the hydrogen peroxide activity). Some honeys
set to a very hard granulation; some
honeys have a very coarse granulation. Manuka honey is
a softer granulating honey.
ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey has been specially handled
to ensure it has a
silky-smooth granulation and all the natural goodness
of the honey is retained.
Herbal Flavor
It tastes great! Our honey is a light golden honey with
the unique herbal manuka flavour.
Try it Melted
ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey can be enjoyed and used
as it is straight from the jar.
It is also delicious after gently melting to remove the
granulation. Heat gently (not above 37' C
which is the temperature inside the beehive) for as shorter
time as possible. Be sure to stir
the honey so that the heat passes into the centre core.
A few days after cooling the honey becomes a very soft
jelly which is characteristic of thixatropic
honey. The honey has a delicious smooth soft caramel flavor. |

History
Of Therapeutic Use Of ManukaUSA UMF® 16+ Active Manuka Honey |
| |
Since
1995 many people worldwide have benefited from using ManukaUSA
UMF16+ Active Manuka
Honey for a wide variety of therapeutic uses.
When the news came out in 1991 from The University of
Waikato about the properties of UMF
Manuka Honey we concentrated our efforts into the production
of this exciting and unique honey.
In 1995, after realizing how little is really known about
UMF Manuka Honey and that very little
was being done to promote this special honey, we set out
to inform people of its natural
properties so that those with a need can benefit from
it.
Our aim is to provide information and to make it clear
that this property is not found in all
manuka honey as has been commonly thought. Knowing this,
people will be better informed
when purchasing the honey.
We established the very first website in North America about
Active manuka honey and actively ship our UMF® 16+ Active Manuka
Honey to distributors and individuals all around the
globe. |
