This innovative blend harnesses the natural healing powers of two of nature’s finest ingredients, offering a delicious and effective way to support your immune system and soothe your throat.

In a new 2024 study published in the journal 'Nutrients', UCLA researchers found Manuka honey significantly reduced tumor growth in mice with ER-positive breast cancer cells by 84% without affecting normal breast cells or causing major side effects. The findings suggests that Manuka honey could potentially be developed into a natural supplement or even a standalone treatment for ER-positive breast cancer, particularly for patients who experience resistance to traditional therapies.

*New Product Launch* We are celebrating the launch of our new Product line, UMF 22+ Premium High Grade Mountain Gold Manuka Honey with a whooping 50% off until the end of August 2024.

Team Members from the Fifa World Cup Japanese Team visited one of our outlet stores in Christchurch recently. DNA NZ located in the heart of Christchurch CBD took a few pics with the team members and were proud to sell them our Mountain Gold Manuka Honey. We received these photos from them of the in store visit.

This time of year is hard work but also very rewarding for us at Mountain Gold Manuka.

It's when we reap the reward that comes with caring for the bees. A time for the bees to give back.

When the honey comes into our honey processing extraction facility it is still in the frames and honey boxes. This photo shows some frames containing the capped Manuka Honey.

We place each individual fame into a honey pricker that uncaps the layer of wax.

Then it's into the centrifuge. The honey is spun out and then placed in a drum for storage. It's completely pure and natural. Nothing is added or altered. Just pure raw natural New Zealand Mountain Gold Manuka Honey.

Mountain Gold Manuka Honey got festive. We made Christmas Tree decorations using our beautiful pots of Manuka and Native Honey. We also love this time of year when not only our UMF Manuka Honey is being collected by our bees but also from the Pohutukawa Tree (Known as the New Zealand Christmas Tree).

Every batch of our honey is independently tested in an IANZ accredited New Zealand laboratory.  We ensure our Manuka Honey meets the New Zealand Manuka Honey standard and the UMF Manuka Honey standard.
