5 good reasons to choose genuine Manuka honey

5 good reasons to choose genuine Manuka honey

1. A rare honey with controlled origin

Manuka honey is harvested exclusively in New Zealand, in protected natural areas. Its rarity is due to the short flowering period of the Manuka plant and the geographical isolation of the apiaries. Each jar is the result of ethical harvesting, in accordance withsustainable beekeeping practices.

2. A guaranteed MGO index for perfect traceability

Manuka MGO honey is laboratory tested to guarantee its natural concentration of methylglyoxal (MGO), a unique compound found in nectar. In our store, you can choose the MGO level according to your preferences: 570+, 1140+. Each batch is certified and has a traceability number.

3. Unmatched texture and flavor

Pure Manuka honey is distinguished by its creamy texture and intense flavor, combining woody and slightly camphorated aromas. This distinctive taste makes it ideal for eating straight from the spoon, on toast, or in yogurt. It offers a true sensory experience.

4. Artisanal and responsible production

At Ruche & Flore, we select only authentic Manuka honey from small local New Zealand beekeepers. The honey is harvested cold, unheated, and unpasteurized, preserving all its natural qualities. Packaged in recyclable glass jars, it meets our commitment to responsible consumption.

5. A local honey with a variety of uses

This premium single-flower honey fits perfectly into your routine: whether for a refined breakfast, a strong-flavored herbal tea, or a gourmet touch in your recipes, Manuka honey for everyday use is a must-have in any wellness pantry.

How to enjoy and store your Manuka honey?

Tips for use

Pure Manuka honey can be consumed in many ways:

  • Spoonful by spoonful, in the morning on an empty stomach to fully appreciate its aromas.

  • Spread on whole wheat bread or brioche

  • In an infusion or herbal tea (add it once the drink has cooled to preserve its qualities)

  • As a refined ingredient in plain yogurt or a smoothie

Store your jar at room temperature, away from direct light. Unheated Manuka honey may crystallize naturally: this is a sign of purity, not a defect. To make it more fluid, place the jar in a warm water bath for a few minutes.
