Nate's UMF 5+ Manuka Honey
New Zealand manuka honey under the Nate's Honey brand, labelled UMF 5+ and MGO 83+, in a 375 g squeeze bottle.
Nate's UMF 5+ Manuka Honey is the monofloral manuka honey in the range of the US brand Nate's Honey. The brand says the honey is sourced and bottled in New Zealand, and the label reads New Zealand sourced. The UMF 5+ mark means the batch is checked through the UMF Honey Association, UMFHA; the label also shows MGO 83+. For Nate's this is the lowest grade among its manuka honeys. The producer describes manuka as thicker and darker than traditional honey, with a more earthy flavour. The squeeze bottle holds 13.2 oz, or 375 g.
Why this matters to you: the UMF and MGO numbers are label grades, and they are how you compare one manuka bottle with another.
