The delicious light golden honey with the unique herbal manuka flavour is a New Zealand favourite.  However, it is up to the seller to prove to the customer the purity of the product and this is where SummerGlow Apiaries are committed to their customers.

A recent article titled “Honey Boom” that appeared in the July 1-6 edition of the NZ Listener, discusses, amongst other issues faced by the industry, the pioneering research into the benefits of Manuka Honey for your health and more current studies that are underway.

The issue of the purity of Manuka honey is not discussed except to say that there has been recent criticism in the marketplace about non-genuine product on shop shelves.

The challenge facing the customer is one of trust in the supplier and being sure of the purity of the honey that they are purchasing.

The answer lies in the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF) quality mark and the assurance system that is undertaken by the Unique Manuka Factor Honey Association’s (UMFHAs) licence holders.  One of the outcomes of the UMFHAs recent “Manuka ID” research was the discovery of Leptosperin, it is one of many key signature compounds found only in Manuka Honey.

Leptosperin has a unique presence in the nectar of the Manuka flower which proves that its presence in honey can only be derived from Manuka plants. Leptosperin has not been found in the nectar of any New Zealand flower other than Manuka.

“The Leptosperin level in Manuka honey is a direct indicator of its purity and quality, the higher the number the better the honey, it’s that simple” says James Jeffery, co-owner of SummerGlow Apiaries in Te Kowhai, Hamilton.

“We test all our Manuka honey for quality and purity before it is packed. We care about our customers and want to see people benefit from this product. Our honey has superior levels of Leptosperin” says James.

There are not many people that know Manuka Honey better than family owned and operated SummerGlow Apiaries who have been keeping bees for over 40 years and producing high quality Manuka Honey since before its rise to fame.  They are the original source for UMF graded Manuka Honey.

The following internationally-recognised standards verify the quality of SummerGlow Apiaries UMF Manuka honey:

UMF Licensees. Licence Number 1001.

So when you see the SummerGlow Apiaries logo, you know you are getting genuine and authentic New Zealand Manuka Honey.
