Egmont’s MGO 250+ honey, is a mono-floral Manuka. ‘Mono’ floral indicates that the honey is produced entirely from nectar of the Manuka Bush, a flora native to New Zealand. Mono-floral Manuka’s often have a higher MGO rating, due to their purity.
Egmont’s hives are situated in remote parts of the Taranaki forest, where our bee’s live un-disturbed and free to roam. This results in some of the purest and cleanest forms of Manuka honey.

FAQs
What exactly is manuka honey?
Manuka honey is a type of honey which is made by bees who pollinate the manuka bush.
The manuka bush is native to New Zealand and has been used in traditional medicine, by indigenous New Zealanders, for thousands of years for healing.

All Egmont manuka honey is subject to rigorous testing to ensure that it can be classed as such.

Why is manuka honey more expensive than other honey?
Manuka honey is more expensive than some other honeys. This is because it is much rarer and more challenging to obtain than other honey.
Manuka honey is made by the pollination of the manuka bush in New Zealand and can only be made using this bush.
Other honeys are made with a selection of different plants, which makes it more readily available and therefore cheaper to produce.
Manuka honey is thought to be more beneficial than other honeys and so many consider it worth paying the extra cost.

Is manuka honey good for you?
Manuka honey has antibacterial effects. Its active ingredient is methylglyoxal (MGO) which is thought to be what gives it these properties.
All honeys have beneficial properties but it is thought that manuka honey is even more beneficial.
It has been traditionally used to soothe a sore throat as well as for helping to heal wounds and supporting a normal digestive system.
Adding a spoonful of manuka honey to a cup of warm water may help to provide some relief from a sore throat, as it helps to coat the inner lining of the throat, as well as attacking any harmful bacteria.
Manuka honey also contains antioxidants. Antioxidants help to protect the cells from oxidative stress which is the damage that can be caused by free radicals.
