UMF® 15+ Unique Mānuka Factor
Every jar of Happy Valley mānuka honey has a UMF® (Unique Mānuka Factor) rating. This UMF® rating is a global standard used to measure the antibacterial strength of mānuka honey in New Zealand by identifying the key markers of Leptosperin, DHA and Methylglyoxal (MGO).
Our Mānuka honey comes in UMF® grades of 5+, 10+, 15+, 18+ and 20+. The higher the UMF® grade, the greater the medicinal quality. Mānuka honey UMF® 15+ is much more effective against viral infections than regular honey, due to its high level of enzymes and potency.
We guarantee that our UMF® 15 Mānuka honey:
Meets MPI - New Zealand Government's monofloral definition
Meets UMF® Quality & Purity definitions
Is packed in New Zealand, in our own RMP Facility
Contains origin and traceability information

What is the UMF® in mānuka honey?
The UMF® (Unique Mānuka Factor) is an official New Zealand grading system for honey and assures the consumer that the mānuka honey is pure and unadulterated.
Certified UMF® honey providers must meet the strict UMF® Association and New Zealand Government’s standards. The system appraises natural markers found in UMF® mānuka honey. These markers verify the quality and purity of the honey, and that it has been produced and packed in New Zealand.
What is mānuka Honey UMF® 15+?
Mānuka honey UMF® 15+ is graded based on the combined levels of the key signature markers Leptosperin, Methyglyoxal (MGO) and DHA. UMF® 15 mānuka honey has the same nutritional qualities as our other New Zealand honey with a lower UMF® rating, but has stronger therapeutic properties.
What does UMF® 15 mean?
New Zealand honey UMF® 15 means the Methyglyoxal content of mānuka honey is 515mg/kg. Similar to the honey UMF® grading system, the higher the UMF® mānuka grade, the greater the presence of mānuka honey’s unique characteristics. This makes New Zealand mānuka honey UMF® 15 more effective than raw honey against viral infections due to its high quality and potency.
What level of mānuka honey is best?
The UMF® honey grade you select depends on your purpose. As a sweetener, a lower honey UMF® grade of 5 or 10 is sufficient for everyday consumption. Taken as a supplement for well-being, UMF® 15 mānuka honey is best. To treat infections and burns, consider taking the honey UMF® grading 18+ or 20+ which contain the strongest healing and antimicrobial properties.
