Steens - Raw Monofloral Manuka Honey UMF 10+ 225 g - 7.9 oz

New Zealand's Liquid Gold — Raw Monofloral Manuka Honey at Its Most Pure & Potent

Not all honey is created equal — and not all manuka honey is created equal. Steens Raw Monofloral Manuka Honey UMF 10+ is a premium, certified monofloral manuka honey sourced exclusively from the pristine, remote wilderness of New Zealand — where Leptospermum scoparium (the manuka bush) blooms in unpolluted, untouched landscapes to produce one of the most therapeutically potent and nutritionally extraordinary honeys in the world. Raw, unheated, and minimally processed to preserve every enzyme, antioxidant, and bioactive compound in its natural state, this 225g (7.9 oz) jar of UMF 10+ certified manuka honey is nature's most powerful functional food — for those who demand the real thing.

Why Steens Raw Monofloral Manuka Honey UMF 10+?

• UMF 10+ Certified — Guaranteed Potency & Authenticity: UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) is the gold standard certification for genuine manuka honey — independently tested and certified to verify the presence and concentration of the three key manuka markers: methylglyoxal (MGO), leptosperin, and DHA. UMF 10+ guarantees a meaningful, therapeutically relevant level of manuka activity that delivers genuine health benefits.
• Monofloral — Pure Manuka, Nothing Else: Monofloral manuka honey is produced when bees forage predominantly on manuka blossoms — resulting in a honey with a significantly higher concentration of manuka-specific bioactive compounds than multifloral blends. Steens' monofloral certification guarantees you're getting the real, pure manuka experience.
• Raw & Unheated — Maximum Bioactive Integrity: Most commercial honey is heated during processing — destroying the delicate enzymes, antioxidants, and bioactive compounds that give raw honey its extraordinary health properties. Steens' raw, unheated processing preserves the complete natural profile of the honey exactly as the bees made it — including all enzymes, pollen, propolis, and bioactive compounds intact.
• Methylglyoxal (MGO) — The Key Antibacterial Compound: Manuka honey's extraordinary antibacterial and antimicrobial properties come primarily from methylglyoxal (MGO) — a naturally occurring compound found in uniquely high concentrations in genuine manuka honey that has been extensively researched for its ability to inhibit a broad spectrum of bacteria, including antibiotic-resistant strains.
• Supports Immune System Function: The rich combination of MGO, hydrogen peroxide, antioxidants, enzymes, and immune-supporting phytonutrients in raw manuka honey provides powerful immune support — helping to strengthen the body's natural defenses against seasonal challenges, infections, and everyday immune stressors.
• Supports Digestive Health & Gut Wellness: Manuka honey has been extensively studied for its beneficial effects on digestive health — supporting a balanced gut microbiome, soothing the digestive tract lining, and providing prebiotic support for beneficial gut bacteria. Particularly valued for supporting digestive comfort and gut integrity.
• Soothes Sore Throats & Supports Respiratory Health: Raw manuka honey's thick, coating consistency and powerful antimicrobial properties make it one of nature's most effective and time-honored remedies for sore throats, coughs, and upper respiratory irritation — coating and soothing irritated throat tissue while its bioactive compounds address the underlying microbial challenge.
• Supports Wound Healing & Skin Health: Manuka honey has a long and well-documented history of use in wound care — its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and moisture-retaining properties support the healing of minor wounds, burns, and skin irritations, and its antioxidant-rich profile supports healthy, radiant skin when used topically.
• Rich in Antioxidants: Raw manuka honey is significantly richer in antioxidants than conventional processed honey — providing powerful protection against oxidative stress and free radical damage that supports cellular health and healthy aging.
• Sourced from New Zealand's Pristine Wilderness: Steens sources their manuka honey from remote, unpolluted New Zealand wilderness locations — far from agricultural chemicals, urban pollution, and environmental contaminants — for a honey of extraordinary purity that reflects the clean, wild environment in which it was produced.
• Steens Quality: Crafted by Steens — a New Zealand manuka honey company with a deep commitment to raw, authentic, and transparently sourced manuka honey that honors the extraordinary natural heritage of New Zealand's manuka wilderness.
