Its unique antibacterial properties come from methylglyoxal (MGO), a naturally occurring compound that specifically targets bacteria. The MGO rating on each jar indicates the methylglyoxal content, measured in certified laboratories—such as 100+ MGO, which contains at least 100 mg of methylglyoxal per kilogram of honey.

With a robust, medicinal flavour, Tasmanian Manuka honey is ideal for those seeking its antibacterial benefits. It’s best enjoyed on its own for its healing properties or used to add depth to marinades.
