15+ UMF Raw Mānuka Honey 225g

Raw Mānuka Honey | Crushed Wholecomb Technology™



  • UMF 15+ certified | MGO 515+ | Independently tested
  • 100% raw & unpasteurised — never heated above hive temperature
  • Crushed Wholecomb Technology™ — only the wax is removed
  • Up to 15× more bee pollen than leading Mānuka brands
  • Smooth, caramelly mid-strength Mānuka — ideal for a daily wellness ritual

 

Steens 15+ UMF Raw Mānuka Honey combines meaningful Mānuka strength with a smooth, approachable flavour designed for everyday use.

Part of Steens’ Ritual Collection, this UMF 15+ honey is positioned as a mid-strength Mānuka for a regular daily routine. With MGO 515+, it offers a substantial certified Mānuka grade while remaining smooth and easy to enjoy straight from the spoon.

What makes Steens particularly different is its proprietary Crushed Wholecomb Technology™.

Instead of using fine filtration and conventional heat processing, Steens crushes the whole honeycomb and removes only the wax. This helps retain naturally occurring bee bread, bee pollen, enzymes and honey crystals from within the comb.

Steens reports that this extraction process results in up to 15 times more bee pollen than leading Mānuka honey brands, helping give the honey its distinctive texture, aroma and flavour.

The honey is raw and unpasteurised and is not heated above naturally occurring hive temperatures during extraction or packing.

UMF 15+ / MGO 515+ is independently tested and certified for authenticity, purity and potency under the UMF grading system.

The Steens difference

Crushed Wholecomb Technology™
Steens crushes the complete honeycomb and removes only the wax rather than using fine filtration.

Raw & unpasteurised
The honey is not pasteurised and is not heated above naturally occurring hive temperatures during extraction or packing.

Up to 15× more bee pollen
Steens’ wholecomb extraction method has been shown to retain substantially more naturally occurring bee pollen than conventional extraction methods.

From beekeeper to jar
Steens has its own hives, beekeepers and extraction facility, giving it greater control over provenance, quality and handling.

Traceable to the hive
Customers can use the trace code on each jar to follow the honey back to its New Zealand origin.

More than 40 years of beekeeping
Steens was founded by Paul and Sheryl Steens and has more than four decades of experience in ethical and sustainable New Zealand beekeeping.

Why choose UMF 15+?

Steens positions UMF 15+ as its mid-strength daily ritual honey. It is an excellent choice for customers looking for a meaningful step up in Mānuka grade while still wanting a honey they can enjoy regularly.

Taste & texture

Soft earthy notes meet smooth caramel tones, with Steens’ signature melt-in-the-mouth honey crystals.

The result is a rich yet approachable Mānuka with a naturally smooth, caramelly character.
