Single-estate UMF™ Manuka honey house recognized for verified quality, responsible beekeeping, design-led presentation, and innovation—including the world’s first single-serve Manuka honey sticks. 

Ō MĀNUKA has been recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as Best Luxury Sustainable Honey in New Zealand for 2025. The honor highlights the brand’s commitment to provenance, verification, and refined presentation that together define a modern standard for luxury honey. Ō MĀNUKA operates a single-estate model and is a UMF™ Honey Association member (license #3122). 

Working from hive to in-house packing, every batch is independently tested by accredited New Zealand laboratories for multi-marker authenticity and food safety, then packed under an MPI-approved, HACCP-based Risk Management Program, ensuring full traceability from origin to jar. 

At the pinnacle of the portfolio stands UMF 32+ / MGO 1800+, an ultra-rare expression representing approximately 0.003% of annual harvest—selected for potency, character, and provenance. Ō MĀNUKA’s presentation underscores this rigor with custom-designed, registered glass jars and artisan wooden presentation, safeguarding the honey’s natural integrity while expressing quiet luxury. 

Innovation remains central to the brand’s practice. Ō MĀNUKA introduced the world’s first single-serve Manuka honey sticks, a hygienic, travel-ready format that preserves purity and allows precise portioning for discerning clients. 

“This award affirms that true luxury is built on provenance, verification, and design,” said the team at Ō MĀNUKA. “From single-estate beekeeping to independent testing and considered presentation, our goal is to set a credible, measurable standard for Manuka honey—made in New Zealand for global clients.” 

Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce congratulated the team on their outstanding achievement. “Ō MĀNUKA demonstrates how sustainability, innovation, and authenticity can coexist at the highest level. Their commitment to preserving New Zealand’s natural integrity while delivering exceptional quality is exemplary.”
