Rewarewa Honey is a delicious golden honey sourced from the nectar of New Zealand’s elegant Rewarewa tree, also known as the honey-suckle tree. 

The elegant Rewarewa tree stands tall and high above the other trees in New Zealand's native bush.   In early summer (November-December) it is covered with masses of beautiful, but delicate, red flowers which freely release their nectar. 

Rewa is the Maori word for king and the stately Rewarewa tree truely reflects its role as king of the New Zealand native bush.  New Zealand's early settlers and bush workers referred to the Rewarewa tree as the honey-suckle tree because its nectar dripped from its flowers on hot days in early summer.

Rewarewa honey has a full-bodied, melt-in-the-mouth flavour.

Pure gourmet honey – nature’s sweetener and energiser.

Delightful on toast or bread, in cooking, straight off the spoon.

Delicious as a marinade or in a nourishing drink. Try it melted on porridge.

How do I know SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey is genuine?

Testing for Authenticity - Protecting Your Rights as a Consumer

The UMF designation and rating is a highly sought-after and well-respected quality trademark that protects the consumer's rights.

All honey labelled with the quality trademark UMF must be packed and labelled in New Zealand.   Honey cannot be imported into New Zealand so the consumer is assured UMF Manuka Honey is truly and solely New Zealand honey.

After the honey has been packed UMF Manuka Honey must undergo a number of tests to show it is natural, unadulterated Manuka Honey and that the grading claim on the label is true.

UMF Manuka Honey is regularly audited so the consumer can be confident the honey is true-to-label claim.

1. Testing to identify genuine Manuka Honey

• Manuka honey is made up of several compounds that are found only in the honey from New Zealand's native manuka bush (Leptospermum scoparium)
• One of the most dominant compounds is Leptosperin
• Leptosperin is a good indicator of the "manukaness" of honey
• UMF Manuka Honey must contain Leptosperin (minimum Leptosperin 200mg/kg)
• The higher the UMF grading, the higher the level of Leptosperin
• SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey has Leptosperin level 949mg/kg and thoroughly exceeds the NZ MPI criteria for monofloral manuka honey showing it is genuine high grade monofloral manuka honey.   All our honey is produced by our bees from manuka areas which we own and in which we have had hives for the past 45 years. 

2. Testing to show honey is not adulterated:

• HMF increases when honey is heated. 
• UMF Manuka Honey must have HMF below HMF40mg/kg
• SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey has HMF level HMF20mg/kg as we do not damage our honey with heat or adulteration

3. Testing for UMF grading levels:

• Manuka Honey is tested for DHA and for methyglyoxal (MG) as these are present in Manuka Honey and help assess the grading level of the honey
• The combined results of all four tests (Leptosperin test + MG test + DHA test + HMF test) indicate the quality, "manukaness" and the grading level for the honey
• To be graded UMF16 Manuka Honey must have Leptosperin at least 200mg/kg and Methyglyoxal must be at least MG572mg/kg and HMF must be less than HMF40mg/kg
• SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey far exceeds all quality requirements: It is graded UMF21 and Leptosperin 949mg/kg and MGO 902mg/kg and HMF20mg/kg

Test results for SummerGlow UMF16+ Manuka Honey
