Support everyday wellness
Kiva Raw Manuka honey is harvested from the remote and pristine hills, forest, and coastal areas of New Zealand. Our monofloral Manuka honey has been independently tested and rated to be at least UMF 10+ (equivalent to MGO 263+). We are a member of the UMF Honey Association license no. 2240.
What is a UMF Honey Rating?
The UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor) rating governed by the UMF Honey Association is a measure of the attributes and values that are found in Manuka honey. Only UMF™ measures the three unique signature compounds: Leptosperin, DHA, and Methylglyoxal (MGO) found in genuine Manuka honey to assure PURITY, QUALITY, and AUTHENTICITY. The higher the number the higher the concentration.
Buying UMF rated Manuka honeys protects you from untested honey (often labeled 'active', ‘factors’, or 'bio-active').

At Kiva, we are dedicated to providing assurance to our customers of purity, authenticity, and traceability for all our Manuka honey. Each jar of our Manuka honey is independently tested and certified to guarantee the UMF™ grading on the label. Simply scan the QR code on the jar to verify the UMF certificate.
