Manuka Honey Product Range
 

Southern Dairy is a supplier of world-famous Manuka Honey that is produced by bees that pollinate the Manuka tree, a native plant of New Zealand. Typically it contains higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), a natural antibacterial agent. While not yet fully verified by research, it is said by some to provide improved healing to cuts, protection from infection, improved digestion, and enhancement of the immune system. In fact, it has been approved by the FDA as an option for wound healing.

 

The other potential benefit of Manuka Honey is that even though it has antibacterial properties it is not an antibiotic. Therefore it does not appear to contribute to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The other important point to mention is that unlike many other kinds of honey, our Manuka Honey is not contaminated with actual antibiotics. In many parts of the world, foulbrood is a major issue resulting in beekeepers having to use an antibiotic to protect their bees. This is not the case with the Southern Dairy product.

In addition, unlike most other honey brands, none of our honey is creamed, a process that adds air and moisture to the end product, As a result, our honey's are distinguished by their natural flavor and aroma.
