Our Manuka Honey
At Bella New Zealand Manuka Honey we are passionate about our beautiful pure Manuka Honey. The magic of Manuka honey has spread around the world and is highly recognised for its natural properties, which is why we independently verify our Bella New Zealand Manuka Honey for quality and purity so you know the authenticity of every drop.
Manuka honey is unique to New Zealand and is produced by honey bees collecting nectar from the Manuka flower (Leptospermum scoparium). Growing from resilient bushes and trees in the face of harsh storms and winds on the country’s wind-swept coastlines and mountains, this wild environment means the Manuka is naturally strong.
The unique properties of this authentic native plant is something New Zealand Maori have known for centuries. Manuka continues to be used as a medicine in traditional Maori healing practices. Honey is nature’s superfood.
Today, Manuka honey from New Zealand is sought after around the world and Bella New Zealand Manuka Honey brings you the very best quality. We work closely with our bees and beekeepers to ensure the highest quality pure Manuka honey fills our jars every time, from the hive to your home.
Manuka Honey UMF Benefits
In its different strengths, Manuka honey has enriching qualities. Our Manuka honey is UMF certified to ensure the best quality in every drop and this UMF trademark is your guarantee that our honey is what we say it is and contains all the natural and unique properties.
It is well known that honey has been used since ancient times to treat wounds and burns. New studies confirm the scientific viability of Manuka honey being used as topical dressings for wounds and burns (ref). Certified Manuka honey with a higher UMF is also now increasingly being used in the beauty industry as a healthy, natural alternative.
