Where does Manuka honey come from?

Many people think manuka honey only comes from New Zealand.

The manuka marketing people from New Zealand have done a great job of persuading the public that the only true source of manuka is New Zealand.

Clever marketing, but it’s not true.
Manuka honey is produced in New Zealand and Australia.

Indeed due to the warmer climate in Australia, our bees tend to produce honey that is far superior in MGO levels.
Scientists believe this is governed by latitudenal differences – the heat and humidity of the Australian environment.
