24+ UMF Raw Mānuka Honey 225g

Steens 24+ UMF Raw Mānuka Honey is the highest-strength Mānuka honey in the Steens range, combining an exceptional UMF 24+ grade with Steens’ unique raw wholecomb extraction process.

With MGO 1122+, this is a very high-grade certified monofloral New Zealand Mānuka honey created for customers seeking the premium end of the Steens range.

Steens places UMF 24+ within its Care Collection — “Protect, Nurture, Nourish” — distinguishing it from the lower-strength everyday Ritual grades.

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

Rather than 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 its wholecomb extraction process results in up to 15 times more bee pollen than leading Mānuka honey brands, contributing to the honey’s 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 24+ / MGO 1122+ represents an exceptionally high certified Mānuka grade. Each batch is independently tested under the UMF certification system for authenticity, quality and potency.

The Steens difference

Up to 15× more bee pollen

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

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

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 24+?

UMF 24+ is Steens’ highest-strength Mānuka honey.

At MGO 1122+, it contains more than 1,122mg of methylglyoxal per kilogram of honey and sits at the very top of the current Steens UMF range.

Steens categorises this grade within its Care Collection, rather than its everyday Ritual Collection, making it particularly suited to customers specifically seeking a rare, very high-grade certified Mānuka honey.

For customers comparing the Steens range:

UMF 15+ / MGO 515+ — mid-strength, everyday daily ritual
UMF 20+ / MGO 830+ — high-strength premium Mānuka
UMF 24+ / MGO 1122+ — Steens’ highest-strength premium grade

Taste & texture

Deep, earthy richness with gentle sweetness and more pronounced Mānuka character, finished with Steens’ signature melt-in-the-mouth honey crystals.

Steens describes its UMF 24+ as having medicinal notes, giving this highest-strength grade a noticeably more intense Mānuka profile than its lower grades.
