Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our FAQ section, where we answer the most common questions about our products and their uses. From nutritional benefits to processing tips, we aim to provide clear, practical information to help you make informed decisions—whether you’re a food manufacturer, distributor, or ingredient buyer.
How can you tell if it’s real honey or fake honey?
Real honey should list only “honey” as the ingredient, have natural aroma and flavour variations, and may crystallise over time. Certified lab testing is the most reliable method. Reputable private label honey manufacturers and wholesale suppliers test every batch for authenticity.
What is the special honey that comes from New Zealand?
New Zealand is famous for Manuka honey, known globally for its natural antibacterial activity. It’s considered one of the world’s most premium honeys. This makes New Zealand a leading source for private label Manuka honey and high-quality retail-ready honey products.
What is the best honey in New Zealand?
Many consider monofloral Manuka honey with high MGO or UMF ratings the best due to its potency and rarity. Other favourites include Rātā, Rewarewa, and Honeydew. These premium varieties are widely used by top private label honey brands in the USA and international retailers.
