MGO stands for Methylglyoxal, which is the name of the chemical marker that gives Manuka honey its unique antibacterial activity. This helps ensure that all certified Mānukahoney are authentic and the highest quality.

Melora™ share equal percentages of honey sales between Mānuka resources owners, beekeepers and the honey processing company.

By using a fair share benchmark that is higher than the industry standard, we are able to continually support landowners to guard, protect and nurture Mānuka plants, leading to a sustainable future together.

Our Ethical Honey Harvesting programme also sets out clear quality policies and procedures for all harvest and apiary operators working with us. The aim of this programme is to protect the bees and hives from risk of contamination, to protect the environment during harvesting and to keep our people safe through the process.

Through the traceability programme Mānuka Originz™ that we developed under the partnership of an independent research and auditing organisation Oritain™, you are able to find out where your jar of honey comes from. To trace your Mānuka honey, verify the batch code on the jar here.

Yes, all Melora Mānuka honey is collected by our kiwi bees, harvested by our beekeepers from the untamed East Coast of New Zealand.
