Wedderspoon Raw Manuka Honey KFactor 16, Unpasteurised Monofloral New Zealand Manuka Honey, 250g 500g and 1kg

Wedderspoon Raw Manuka Honey KFactor 16 Details

Raw, unpasteurised monofloral manuka honey from New Zealand, rated KFactor 16. One ingredient. Available in 250g, 500g and 1kg.

KFactor is Wedderspoon's own rating, and it is not the same as the MGO or UMF numbers other brands print. It measures pollen count and authenticity — whether the honey is genuinely manuka from the region claimed — rather than methylglyoxal concentration. A higher KFactor means more manuka pollen, not more MGO. Do not compare KFactor against UMF as though they were one scale.

The honey is raw and unpasteurised. Commercial honey is heated and filtered to stay clear on a shelf; skipping that keeps enzymes, pollen and texture intact but means it will crystallise. Crystallisation is a sign it has not been over-processed, not a fault.

Manuka comes from bees foraging the manuka bush, Leptospermum scoparium, which flowers for only a few weeks a year in a limited part of New Zealand. That narrow window is why manuka costs what it does — supply is bounded by geography and season.

The taste is not what people expect from honey. It is darker, thicker and more caramel-and-mineral than floral, with a slightly bitter finish. Worth knowing before buying the 1kg.

Wedderspoon is a Canadian-founded company sourcing its honey from New Zealand's manuka bush. KFactor is Wedderspoon's own rating system, based on pollen count and authenticity testing rather than the MGO or UMF scales other brands use.

Who Wedderspoon Raw Manuka Honey KFactor 16 Is For

For anyone who uses manuka often enough to justify a larger jar, and anyone wanting the higher KFactor grade. The 250g is the sensible start if you have not had manuka before — the flavour is distinctive.

Never give honey to an infant under 12 months. Honey can carry Clostridium botulinum spores that an infant gut cannot defend against, and infant botulism is a serious illness. Honey is a bee product, so it is not vegan and is unsuitable for anyone with an allergy to bees, bee products or pollen. It is roughly 80% sugar — treat it as a sweetener, not a health food, if you are managing blood glucose.
