THE UMF QUALITY MARK
The UMF quality mark and grading system appraises natural markers found in Manuka Honey, and assures purity and quality. Please see the UMF website at www.umfha.org.nz .
To receive a UMF grading, the honey must contain the following markers:
Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) – DHA is a compound naturally present in Manuka flower nectar, and is a precursor to the development of MGO.
Methylglyoxal (MGO) – MGO is a naturally occurring unique chemical marker that is abundant in high quality Manuka honey. MGO is responsible for the antibacterial properties of honey which have been shown to be very effective when applied to non-healing and infected wounds in clinical situations.
Leptosperin – This is a naturally-occurring compound found only in the nectar of Manuka and some closely-related plants.
WHAT IS THE UMF GRADING SYSTEM BASED ON?
The UMF grading system is currently related to the level of methylglyoxal MGO found in the honey for example:

Acacia honey—acacia honey stimulates antibodies and combats harmful microbial activity. It is also quite effective in wound treatment. It has a peculiar sweet taste.
Manuka is a variety of monofloral honey produced by bees which pollinate leptospermum trees, also known as tea tree. There are 86 species of leptospermum in Australia, 35 of which produce honey which is high in methylglyoxal, otherwise known as MGO. Many people think that manuka is a variety of honey only available in New Zealand, but this honey is also widely available in Australia. The levels of MGO found in Australian honey are comparable to those found in manuka honey from New Zealand.
Manuka honey was first produced in Australia. However, as recently as 20 years ago, the strong flavour of this leptospermum honey meant that it wasn't prized. However, in recent years the health benefits of methylglyoxal have been recognised. Methylglyoxal has antimicrobial qualities. Curent research suggests that honey, especially manuka honey, could have a role in combatting antibiotic resistance. Australian manuka honey must be produced in Australia from leptospermum and laboratory tested for MGO concentration.
Manuka honey is thick, dark in colour, and has a strong flavour. The flavour is earthy and complex, with a distinctive smell. If you find that the taste of 'regular' honey is too sweet, you may like this honey.

Avatar's Manuka Blend honey comes from extremely remote rural New Zealand manuka forests in the Wairarapa coastal region, where bees live in a completely organic environment, free from any pollution.
When we blend our honey we are simply making the most of the fantastic local relatives of the manuka species. For example, the kanuka tree and other native trees often coexist with manuka and blossom around the same time as the manuka tree. The resulting honey is an exciting natural mixture of all these floral sources. This allows us to deliver this creamed natural delicious delight with much of the health-giving properties of our MQS certified manuka range.
You will be delighted at the color and flavor of this fantastic blend of manuka kanuka and other native floral honey.
