MANUKA HONEY IS IN THE SPOTLIGHT, FOR ALL THE BEST REASONS
Not only famous around the world for their Māori Haka war
dance, and All Blacks rugby team, but this special part of the world is also
set apart for its Manuka honey. New Zealand truly is a land of globally loved
treasures! Budding new to the market, is Manuka Royale, a Manuka honey producer of the
highest esteem. So high in fact, that they have been named the ‘Best Luxury Honey in the World, 2021’,
by the illustrious Luxury Lifestyle Awards. With such a gigantic title to its name, we set out to
discover just what it is that has earned the fan-following of one of the
globe's most coveted awards.
Honey, the food of the gods, has been a prized food and
medicinal source since ancient days. Its legacy, mystery, and acclaim are
celebrated across cultures and continents. Manuka honey is produced from bees
pollinating the Manuka plant, which only flowers for up to 6 weeks, native to
New Zealand and East Australia. This makes it incredibly rare. What makes this
distinctive from regular honey, in terms of flavour profile, is that it has an
earthy minerality and slightly bitter taste. It’s also darker and creamier in
appearance and texture. A new honey sensation.
But there’s more to magical manuka honey than its unique
palate, and that is its medicinal qualities. It’s highly sought-after as a
healing aid and for its nutritious powerhouse. Science was given the task of
establishing what makes this honey so much more than others. And the answer is
scientifically confirmed, that it boasts a special bioactive compound that's
not found in any other honey source. This compound is called Methylglyoxal
(MGO). The higher the levels of the non-peroxide activity MGO, the healthier it
is.
It's clear we’re dealing with an exceptional natural food
source, but what about Manuka Royale? What makes them so exceptional? To start,
it was founded by two very special and accomplished people: Two Olympic
athletes, Wojtek and Elena Brambilla.
After their champion accomplishments, they set sail around the world. This
afforded them the opportunity to be inspired, to dream, and sharpen their
vision. And the Manuka Royale
concept was born.
A strong desire for healthy living, producing life-giving products that heal the world, uplifting their local communities, and protecting
the earth while doing so were paramount. With sustainability as one of the
bedrock values, Manuka Royale developed on this founding principle and feature:
-
- It
is the single most food source that's produced without killing or harming
animals or plants.
- UMF-certified honey of the highest standard was sourced from local, nearby farms.
- The
production process of Manuka honey is naturally kind to the environment, with
low-carbon output and being completely non-pollutant.
- Close
proximity to the local beekeeping farms meant a lower carbon footprint in the
overall production operation.
- Thanks
to their time on the ocean, which inspired them to use BPA-free jars that were
manufactured from ocean plastic waste.
- They
also incentivize bulk orders for international shipping, furthering their green
eco-friendly activities.
Turning to the quality of Manuka Royale honey, Wojtek and Elena have sourced honey from only the untouched, pristine wilderness areas that offer unmatched soil mineral content. This impacts the levels of sought-after nutritional compounds such as methylglyoxal (MGO), dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and leptosperin. As many already know, over-processing or just processing can be detrimental to nutrient values. For this reason, minimal processing is applied to their honey, ensuring the beneficial compounds and healthy enzymes are preserved. With full UMF certification (this validates the levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and leptosperin) that identify the product range within their respective levels - this boosts confidence in what consumers are buying, ingesting, or applying.
Another amazing feature is being able to trace the source of your specific jar of honey. This will provide you with information as to which variety and origin honey you have, including its nutritional composition. Simply enter the unique batch number of your product, into their website ‘Trace’ section, and it will return your result!
Shoppers delight when selecting from two of their premium
luxury honey products: Creamed Manuka Honey (with varying levels of UMF as
added options) and their Truffle Manuka Honey. These are authentic gourmet
products that also make an impressive gift to any foodies you may know and
love.
