Comvita UMF 5+ Manuka Honey 250g

A 250g jar of Comvita Manuka honey UMF 5+ comes from the nectar of the Leptospermum scoparium bush in New Zealand and delivers a naturally complex flavour and aroma that suits toast, baking, and savoury glazes; it can be warmed to loosen or chilled for a firmer spread and is not suitable for children under one year. Comvita’s UMF certified honey is bottled in New Zealand and sealed for freshness—do not use if the cap seal is broken. For topical clinical applications, choose Comvita Medihoney products labeled for skin care. Store away from heat and sunlight to preserve flavour quality.

Taste & everyday uses

Comvita UMF 5+ has a full-bodied flavour profile that complements both sweet and savoury dishes. Use it as a natural honey spread on bread, stirred into yogurt, drizzled over cheese, or added to marinades and dressings. For preferred consistency, warm the jar gently to loosen or refrigerate briefly to firm the honey for thicker spreads and glazing.
