Are you looking for a natural way to boost your health and well-being? Look no further than Mountain Gold Manuka Honey (UMF 5,10,15,20, & 25+). This extraordinary honey, sourced from the pristine mountains of New Zealand, is not your ordinary sweet treat. It offers a myriad of health benefits that make it a must-have in your pantry.

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.

Mountain Gold Manuka Honey is proud to wear the UMF™ certification on the front of every pot. UMF™ is the only quality and rating system that independently certifies the presence and quality of all factors that make New Zealand mānuka honey unique, ensuring you get honey that meets your needs. 

Our Export Grade Honey Processing Facility produces Halal-certified honey which means honey from an acceptable source and is extracted and packaged in accordance with Islamic law.
