100% Real Australian Raw Manuka Honey

Manuka Honey is only produced in Australia and New Zealand, and this Australian Manuka Honey MGO 900+ is some of the best and purest you can buy.

Australia is home to over 80 species of manuka plant, and around 12 of these have the naturally occurring properties to create active Manuka Honey.

The main active compound, and the one by which Manuka Honey strength is measured, is methylglyoxal (abbreviated to MGO). Other naturally occurring beneficial compounds of Manuka Honey include DHA and hydrogen peroxide. All AB's Manuka Honey is independently laboratory tested to determine MGO levels, meaning you can buy with confidence knowing you are buying certified Australian Manuka Honey.

Manuka Honey MGO 900+ has been tested as having a minimum 900mg of methylglyoxal per kilogram. It has high-strength anti-bacterial, antimicrobial, and nutritional properties, making it useful in the treatment of wounds, infections, and skin conditions, as well as being delicious to eat!

AB’s premium Australian Manuka Honey range is available in four strengths. MGO 900+ is the highest. Other available strengths are MGO 500+, MGO 100+, and MGO 30+.

Flavour and Texture

AB's Manuka Honey MGO 900+ has a rich, dark golden colour. The texture is smooth and a little thicker than our regular table honeys. It has a sweet smell redolent of caramelised brown sugar and butter, and an earthy flavour with a slightly medicinal aftertaste.

How to use Australian Manuka Honey MGO 900+

High-strength Manuka with an MGO 900+ can be used for medicinal purposes, including healing wounds and skin conditions, assisting with Golden Staph infections, easing coughs, colds and sore throats, improving digestion, and boosting the immune system. We are not doctors, but we do know the quality of AB’s Manuka Honey and share the scientific research behind it in our Manuka blog.

Taking a spoonful of undiluted Manuka honey allows it to be absorbed quickly and readily by the body, and you’ll feel the benefits within a few days of daily consumption.

When consuming Manuka Honey of this strength daily, we recommend one to three teaspoons every day for no longer than 2 weeks, then take a short break of a few days before commencing again.

MGO 900+ can be enjoyed straight from the jar, added to smoothies, yoghurts, and breakfasts, or spread on toasted treats. For a special treat, try it in a Bees Knees Cocktail.

Please seek professional medical advice if you have an infection or suffer from a serious illness. Raw honey is not recommended for infants under 12 months.

Storage Instructions

Best Before Date:
The 'best before' date on our packaging is a legal requirement. However, when stored correctly in an airtight, food-grade container, honey can last for thousands of years just like the honey found in ancient pyramids that is still edible today.

Crystallization:
It is normal for real honey to crystallize over time. This is a sign of its purity. To return your honey to its liquid state, simply place the sealed jar in a bowl of warm water until the crystals dissolve. We do not recommend using a microwave, as high heat can destroy the honey's natural enzymes and antioxidants.

Storage:
For optimal freshness, store your honey in a cool, dark place like your pantry. Storing it in the fridge can accelerate the natural crystallization process. Our honey is not pasteurized, which means it retains all of its beneficial properties, unlike many supermarket honeys that are heated to prevent crystallization.

Shipping & Returns

We offer free domestic shipping on all orders over $75 (excluding those containing beeswax).

Orders placed before 12pm Queensland time (excluding public holidays) will be shipped the same business day, and you'll receive a tracking number via email. If received after this time will be shipped the next business day.

Please note that due to strict quarantine laws, we are unable to ship our products to Western Australia, Northern Territory, Norfolk Island, and Kangaroo Island. We also do not offer international shipping at this time.

We can't guarantee delivery times once your order has been dispatched.

Please be aware that delays can occur during peak periods like Christmas or due to natural disasters. If you need your order sooner, you can select Express Post at checkout for an additional fee.

FAQs

Learn more about Manuka Honey

Is Manuka honey only from New Zealand?

No. This is one of the biggest misconceptions about Manuka honey. The Manuka plant (Leptospermum species) is native to Australia, and Australia is home to 84 out of the 87 known Leptospermum species worldwide. New Zealand’s Manuka plant is believed to have originated from Australian seeds that crossed the Tasman Sea millions of years ago. Bees were also introduced to Australia nearly two decades before New Zealand, meaning Australia was producing Manuka honey first.

What plant does Manuka honey come from?

Manuka honey comes from the nectar of specific species within the Leptospermum genus, commonly called Manuka. These are hardy shrubs with white or pink flowers that have evolved in Australia over around 23 million years. In Australia, there are about 80 different Leptospermum species; in New Zealand, the only species is Leptospermum scoparium.

What makes Manuka honey different from regular honey?

Manuka honey contains naturally occurring compounds in much higher concentrations than regular honey, including:

Methylglyoxal (MGO) – contributes to its antibacterial properties.

Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) – present in the flower nectar and converts to MGO over time.

Leptosperin – a marker used to confirm authenticity and linked to potential health benefits.

How is Australian Manuka honey different from New Zealand Manuka honey?

Both Australian and New Zealand Manuka honeys come from Leptospermum plants and can have strong bioactive properties. However:

Australia has far greater Manuka plant diversity (about 80 species versus New Zealand’s primary single species).

Recent university research (e.g., from the University of the Sunshine Coast) has shown that leptosperin levels in Australian Manuka honey can be up to nearly three times higher than those found in New Zealand Manuka honey.

This suggests very strong authenticity markers and potential health-related activity in Australian Manuka honey.

What do MGO numbers (MGO 30+, 100+, 500+, 900+) mean?

The MGO number indicates how much methylglyoxal is present in the honey, measured in milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg).

For example:

MGO 30+ – at least 30 mg of MGO per kg of honey.

MGO 100+ – at least 100 mg/kg

MGO 500+ – at least 500 mg/kg

MGO 900+ – at least 900 mg/kg (very high strength)

Higher MGO means stronger antibacterial activity and usually a higher price. Each batch of our Manuka honey is independently laboratory tested so that the MGO rating on the label matches what’s actually in the jar.

How can I tell if my Manuka honey is genuine?

Look for the following:

Transparent labelling –Look for clear “100% Australian Manuka Honey” labelling, verified MGO ratings, and independent test information when choosing your Manuka.

If a product claims to be Manuka honey but doesn’t provide MGO testing or credible certification, it’s wise to be cautious.

As Mānuka is of Māori origin how can honey from Australia benamed Manuka?

This is a great question. Manuka is a common name for plants of the Leptospermum genus. As happens with many names, they can be adopted across many languages.

This is exactly what has happened with Manuka. It’s origins are clearly Māori. It was adopted as a common name for Leptospermum Scoparium. L. Scoparium is native to Australia and New Zealand. Europeans from both countries started using the same common name for the plant.

Honey varieties generally take their name from the common name of the plant. Yellow Box, Ironbark and Leatherwood honey are a few common examples. This is also exactly what has happened with Manuka Honey.

These days when people think of Manuka honey they are generally referring to honey from plants of the Leptospermum genus which possess MGO (methylglyoxal) levels in excess of 82.

It is this elevated level of MGO which gives Manuka honey its unique healing properties.

Interestingly, the first recorded evidence of the name Manuka being used to describe leptospermum plants appears in a Tasmanian Government House of Assembly report in 1882. This is in Tasmania, Australia, not New Zealand. Shortly after, 1884 Tasmanian maps refer to areas of “low Manuka and Tea Tree scrub”, and the Launceston Examiner newspaper in 1884–1885 also describes Tasmanian landscapes of “manuka” plants.
