Mossop's UMF 5+ Manuka Honey
New Zealand manuka honey from the family firm Mossop's Honey, labelled UMF 5+ and MGO 200+, in 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg jars.
Mossop's Honey, a family beekeeping firm that has worked in New Zealand's Bay of Plenty since 1947, sells this manuka as its entry UMF grade. The nectar source is Leptospermum scoparium, a shrub the bees visit at sites spread over the North Island. Look at the lilac label of the dark jar and you will find the line Manuka Honey UMF 5+ (MGO 200+) together with Product of New Zealand. Before sale, every batch goes to a laboratory to confirm the UMF and MG markers; Mossop's adds that nothing, neither DHA nor methylglyoxal, is put into the honey. Three jar sizes are offered: 250 g, 500 g and 1 kg.
Why this matters to you: UMF 5+ / MGO 200+ is the first step at Mossop's, so this jar is a way to get to know the taste of this family's manuka.
