Hinterland Manuka honey is UMF™ - Certified and comes from the most wild and remote parts of the North Island of New Zealand, therefore our hives are not exposed to any sprays, pesticides, and insecticides – only Mother Nature. Honey is direct from NZ beekeepers and contains very high UMF™. We are a family-owned business and are extremely proud to share this incredibly rare, 100% natural superfood with you. The use of Mānuka honey dates back at least 1000 years, when it was traditionally used by Māori for a variety of medicinal purposes. It was believed to aid in coughs, colds, digestion, immune system support, and for treating burns and wounds. Today, Mānuka honey is recognised worldwide for its anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory healing properties. It is also rich in antioxidants and can help protect the body from free radical damage.
