Cosana

Our Manuka Honey comes from the remote wilderness of New Zealand. We work directly with local beekeepers and bottle the honey at our own facility on-site.

MGO stands for Methylglyoxal, the natural compound that makes Manuka Honey unique. The higher the MGO rating, the more concentrated this compound is. All our MGO values are verified by an independent laboratory.

Manuka Honey can only be produced in New Zealand, where the Manuka bush grows. The flowering season is short and the harvest limited. On top of that, our thorough quality assurance (including independent lab testing of every batch) adds to the care that goes into each jar.

UMF stands for Unique Manuka Factor, New Zealand's strictest grading standard. MGO measures one compound. UMF certifies four, including Leptosperin, the marker that only appears in real Manuka. Cosana is a licensed UMF brand (License No. 3178), and every jar shows both ratings so you can compare.

We own our Manuka Honey bottling facility in Taupo, New Zealand, so every step from filtering to sealing happens under one roof before the honey ships. Cosana carries nine independent certifications: for food safety (BRCGS A, ISO 9001, FDA), for New Zealand origin and authenticity (FernMark, NZ MPI, UMF), and for dietary standards (Non-GMO, HALAL, Kosher). We control the quality; independent bodies verify it.
