Product details

Comvita UMF 15+ Manuka Honey 250g is produced in New Zealand from the nectar of the native Manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium). The UMF 15+ mark identifies UMF certified honey and helps verify the honey’s traceability to raw Manuka nectar. This jar is presented by the Comvita honey brand and is intended for culinary use as a rich, flavorful spread or sweetener.

Taste and texture

Expect a dense, golden texture that holds its shape on a spoon. The flavor is robust and slightly earthy compared with common table honeys, making it well suited to recipes that call for a premium natural sweetener or a standout topping for yogurt, porridge, or toast.

Usage and safety

Use as a spread, stirred into hot or cold beverages, or in cooking where an intense honey flavor is desired. As with all honeys, avoid feeding to infants under one year of age. For topical uses such as wound care or healing honey for skin, Comvita directs consumers to Comvita Medihoney products specifically formulated and tested for therapeutic honey use.

Storage and handling

Store at room temperature away from direct sunlight; warming the jar gently softens the honey for easy spreading, while refrigeration will firm it. Do not use if the cap seal is broken. The UMF certification on the jar supports product authenticity and traceability to New Zealand sources.
