P.R.IManuka Honey, MGO 100+ New Zealand Raw Monofloral Manuka Honey, 500g

I have not tried any other Manuka honeys, so I can't do a comparison between this brand and others. All that I can tell you is that I purchased one jar about a year ago, I have used it somewhat-sparingly, and I still have a half jar left. The taste and quality have remained the same over that year.I have not used it externally (for wound healing), but I know that it has an excellent reputation, and that even "non-alternative" medical practitioners in my area agree that Manuka honey is an excellent dressing for skin wounds.I have eaten honey for most of my life (all standard, commercial, supermarket-type brands), and I have to say that the taste and texture of this brand of Manuka honey is far superior. Its taste is subtle--not sharp--and the texture is dense and easily-spreadable--not runny and messy.This will be my go-to honey for the foreseeable future. IMO, it's well-worth the extra expense.

I always prefer natural remedies to a bunch of chemicals cooked up in a lab, but it has actually got to prove itself to me before I will make it one of my regular "go-to" items. Manuka honey has proven itself on a number of fronts, and should be a staple item in everyone's natural first aid kit!I have used Manuka honey to resolve ear issues with my dogs, to help heal burns, cuts, and rashes, and I even take some when I feel a little under the weather. When I noticed my dogs shaking their heads often--which happens every time after they get groomed--I smear a tiny bit of Manuka honey in their ears on the tip of a q-tip. I don't go deep with the q-tip because that can hurt them, I just smear a bit right along the edge of the ear hole, and within a minute, no more ear flopping! Now, it did leave a little residue on their ears as it worked its way out, but no big deal to clean it off. I love how effective and how quickly this honey works. I will use it on my dog when he goes for surgery next week.

There seems to be the usual range of confusion/concerns about Manuka honey products here at Amazon. Understandable given the number of products being listed at Amazon and the range and type of bioactivity assay labeling. Compound the confusion with the fact that different batches of harvest will test, taste, and appear slightly different (that is the nature of raw organic harvested honeys), and people can get really worked up subjectively about a product sometimes. If you are like me, you want the best quality product for the lowest price, in other words you want value for money. So I wanted to post a comment about this particular product item.I just received my first shipment of this item and find it to be as advertized, and from taste, appearance, and aroma it is genuine. I am personally comparing the product with other other very reputable Manuka honey products in my possession. This is an excellent product and an outstanding value in terms of product vs price. I will buy it again as it is the real deal.This particular product is assayed and marked for bioactivity level 10+ (~ equivalent to the new MGO assay value of 100+, though there is no perfect translation between measures). There are higher bioactivity products for sale on Amazon, but honestly for maintenance level consumption for digestive health, you do not need a higher bioactivity IMO. The high MGO products are best, IMO, for topical or very specific internal treatment uses. Nothing wrong with more bioactive Manuka, it's just probably a waste of value for daily personal consumption.At the time of my purchase here, the company that Amazon procures this item from is Pacific Resources and they are a reputable wholesale importer of genuine Manuka honey direct from New Zeland. You can google them if you have any concerns, [...] , and check and verify them on your own. The thing to keep in mind is that since Pacific resources is a wholesaler, they may provide Amazon with the equivalent harvested, tested, and packaged product, but it may carry a different brand label from one order to another. So don't freak out if you see different brand labeling. The key here is that the item is from Pacific Resources. That said, they appear to be marketing the product with their own label now, so maybe that will be their norm moving forward, but the product is harvested, batch numbered, tested, and packaged in New Zeland. Tip: You will find that almost all of the Manuka honey products, regardless of label, are in virtually identical container design, shape and color... so there is likely only one or two packaging entities in New Zeland and all labeling brands are using the same supply chain to obtain product for resale.A last comment, specifically about packaging: I know some people freak out if the product is not in a glass container. I really don't see the issue though as long as the container is BPA free (which all the data I have seen indicates that they are). This product is coming from direct packaging in New Zeland, so it is completely expected that due to weight and breakage concerns they product comes in plastic containers. This product is shipped in light blocking PET containers bearing recycle code 1 on them. For info on the food and consumption safety of code 1 pet plastics see: [...]

As honey lover,I'm at a loss for words. There is no honey like Raw Manuka honey. Yes it is expensive, sometimes very expensive, but a reasonably priced manuka honey like this is a particular treat on my morning toast. A little in my steel cut oats is amazingly good too.

This is a miracle product! I've only been using it as a mask and in just a few days, I have seen such a difference.
