Manuka Doctor honey is thicker than table honey, darker and more creamy.
It has a natural level of sweetness with a slight woody taste due to the high level of phenolic acids which are antioxidants.
Judges from the Great Taste Awards 2024 rated Manuka Doctor 740 MGO Manuka Honey as “exceptional”, awarding it the highest accolade, a 3 star award commenting;
“A deep, rich aroma with a woody hint, and a rich colour with a creaminess that melts in the mouth almost like a caramel sauce. This is a beautiful, exceptional product that has the wow factor.”
Judges also rated the 540 MGO as “A very impressive product with a fabulous texture. Lots of nutty and floral notes and a lasting caramel sweetness. A beautiful product which takes you on a real journey through sweet, earthy, floral, creamy and bitter.”
Unlike more common table honey, it is not runny. In fact if you removed the lid and turned the pot upside down, the honey would likely stay inside the jar it is so thick!
You can gently warm Manuka honey so it drizzles more easily, but not too much, as overheating or boiling the honey can damage some of its properties.
Because it is naturally sweet, this makes Manuka Doctor honey the perfect recipe ingredient to include in cereals, toppings or dressings.
