Mossop's Honey is a New Zealand family business from Tauriko near Tauranga in the Bay of Plenty that produces and packs honey. According to the website, Ron Mossop founded the business more than 70 years ago; his son Neil became a partner in 1975, and in 1981 Neil and Wendy bought Ron's share. In the early 1950s Ron, a cheese maker by trade, developed his own natural granulation method: the honey is stirred for a few hours rather than days and set in a cool room.
The range includes UMF Manuka Honey (5+, 10+, 15+), Manuka Honey, Rewarewa Honey, Field Honey, Comb Honey, gift packs. The website labels the honey as 100% New Zealand honey and the company as UMFHA registered. Manuka jars state the UMF grade together with MGO (for example UMF 10+ and MGO 300+); Field Honey is a blend of pasture honeys and Rewarewa is a dark honey.
Why this matters to you: Mossop's Honey sells manuka at several grades alongside everyday honeys, so the UMF/MGO pair on the label shows which honey you are buying.
