Authentic Mānuka Honey costs more than regular honey for several clear reasons

The Mānuka bush flowers for only a few weeks each year.
Remote hive locations
Many hives are placed in remote regions of New Zealand.
Independent testing
Every certified batch undergoes verification before reaching consumers.
Limited supply
Authentic Mānuka Honey represents a relatively small annual harvest.
Certification & traceability
Additional testing, certification and quality assurance programs contribute to higher production costs.
