Manuka Honey USA is the First and Original Manuka Honey Company in the United States. We have been importing pure, raw, natural, un-pasteurized, truly tested and UMF Certified Active Manuka Honey UMF® 16+ from New Zealand for 18+ years, since 1994. Manuka Honey USA also has a written and Signed Contract with the UMF Association in New Zealand, which oversees External Quality Control. Our Beekeepers pay a large Annual Fee to the Association, to have their facility inspected on a Regular Basis (External un-announced Quality Control Inspections), for consistant cleanliness. The Association also keeps on eye on the operation itself, such as how the jars are filled, labeled and packed, in order to ensure that the highest Quality, Standards and Guidelines are followed by the book. Our Active Manuka Honey UMF® 16+ is collected from the remote valleys and alps in New Zealand, where you will find the purest air, cleanest water and most nutrient rich soil in the world today. Our honey is pure, raw, natural, un-pasteuized, truly Tested and Certified at NZ Labs. In other words, "what's IN the jar, is ON the label".
