If you’re keen to know more about the origins of Manuka honey, here’s some more background information.
Manuka honey comes from tea tree plants, in particular Leptospermum polygalifolium in Australia and Leptospermum scoparium in New Zealand.

Over the years there has been some controversy around how to differentiate varying types of Manuka honey. It’s taken a lot of time, money and effort, but there are now clear methods and guidelines to ensure Berringa sources Manuka honey that is pure and authentic. Key naturally occurring chemical markers identified in honey and nectar are now used to classify Manuka honey. These markers include MGO, dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Leptosperin, which are present in Berringa Manuka Honey in a range of concentrations.

So what makes Manuka honey different from the regular honey you put on your toast?

Aside from its origin, Manuka honey also looks different to regular honey. It’s thicker or more viscous, and typically darker in colour.
Some people can find some brands of Manuka honey slightly bitter and/or too ‘gritty’, but the overwhelming response we have had to
the Berringa Manuka Honey range is that it really tastes great (another reason to choose Berringa).
