Steens 100% Pure New Zealand Raw Manuka Honey, MGO 515+ UMF 15+, 4 x 7.9 oz

Worth every penny. This is magic honey. I personally don’t like the taste of it but that’s not why I buy it. I buy it for its anti-bacterial qualities. My SO likes the taste, however and will use it in his tea sometimes. My guess is that this is similar to cilantro, that people either love or hate the taste depending on genetics. I am glad I don’t like the taste because if I did I would want to eat it very quickly and it’s too expensive to do that.

I subscribe now to this MGO 830+ honey and I have experienced its healing properties both topically and internally - I'll tell you, at the first sign of a sore throat, letting a teaspoonful of this melt in your mouth and slide down your throat a couple times a day will often clear it up for me within 24 hrs. A friend who is a nurse was on a weekend trip with me one time and she had a sore throat. I told her to try it -- she was skeptical, but the next morning her sore throat was gone and she was 100% sold on this product. I've also rubbed it on small wounds or skin irritations and overall, I think it's just a great product to add to my bag of natural health "tricks". I don't use it daily, just when I need its properties most. A 17.6 oz size lasts me about 3 months or a little longer. Others report not liking the taste, but I think it's wonderful. It's thick, dark, and the flavor is very rich. This is no clover honey and when you use it, you can feel and taste the quality. It's worth the expense to have this on hand for so many purposes!

Excellent! Taste great and good for you!

Great honey great relative value

Okay, so I've really recently began my super honey journey in December... But this is really a review that's just beginning and I'll update as I get to know how it works later.. By the way, I'm extremely sold on all of these great honeys after my son caught influenza A in early February (26). As I said I had been taking two teaspoons of honey every day. I started in the morning with one teaspoon of raw Jarrah honey with Green tea, and a teaspoon of extremely raw Buckwheat honey at night with my sleepy time tea. Well, I had eaten and drank after my son and my doctor was almost certain I would catch the flu as well.. Although I did almost feel like I was coming down with something, I never did. After not getting the flu shot, I was a little bit nervous at my age (55).. I was 100% certain the honeys pulled me through.. Which one for certain? I don't know, but the combination of the two worked for me.. But after 3 purchases (at 60$) for the jarrah for only 8.8 ounces I was surprised at how fast it went.. Sure, I'm only going to do one teaspoon of one of these honeys when flu season is over, but I had to figure out if I wanted to go with straight Buckwheat, or give Steens Manuka a try... That's where I am today... Now my unprofessional review and opinion.. I'm actually amazed by the difference between Manuka, Jarrah and Buckwheat... Only the Buckwheat was Crystalized for me.. As far as taste goes, the Steens Manuka is last.. For me the floral aspect doesn't do it for me... Surprisingly the Buckwheat tasted better than the Manuka.. I was quite expecting it to be last based on the thickness and smell.. By far the best tasting was the Jarrah.. As for value of these great honeys for the money? Jarrah is dead last, the Steens Manuka was a strong second, but by far the best hands down is the Amish Buckwheat honey.. As far as the "medicinal properties" Steens Manuka and the Buckwheat are at the top.. The texture of all three are distinctive and different... The Jarrah is extremely light, and the Buckwheat is extremely thick like molasses... But the best consistency and color belong to Steens Manuka with this beautiful caramel like color.. I actually strongly believe that all three are fantastic and authentic and raw and unfiltered... But the value for the money is important to me and the Buckwheat wins out at 17$ for one pound.. But as far as Manuka goes, this Steens is a steal on sale for 42$ for 17 ounces.. Whatever the choice healthwise, you really can't go wrong. All three have different medicinal properties for different things. It's why I like to have a little of each... I really hope this helps and doesn't confuse anyone... But you can't really go wrong with any of these in my opinion.

Excellent honey great price

This is the real deal. The MGO 830+ rating is not just marketing, it shows in the texture, taste, and performance. Thick, rich, and smooth with that unmistakable Manuka depth. No bitterness, no weird aftertaste, just clean, potent honey. I’ve used high-MGO Manuka both internally and topically, and this one absolutely delivers. It’s especially useful if you care about antibacterial strength, skin health, or gut support. You don’t need much, a little goes a long way, which helps justify the price. If you’re new to Manuka, understand this is not grocery-store honey. It’s more medicinal than sweet. If you already know why MGO matters and you’re shopping at this level, you’ll be very happy with this purchase. Would buy again without hesitation.

This is not your tea or yogurt honey. It is very thick and floral (as described) I ordered it to help my husband heal an ulcer on his tongue from radiation, it is a slow healing process, but it seems to be helping. It is pretty pricey, but we have spent hundreds on other products, and this seems to be the one he needs at this time.
