DIRECT FROM THE BEEKEEPER WildCape manages every aspect of its production supply chain, from the 15 full -time beekeepers who care for our 5,000 hives, to our specialist extraction and processing team who pack and label every jar by hand.
SINGLE SOURCE Unlike other brands which bulk blend honey from many source locations, WildCape is the only UMF Manuka honey harvested exclusively from the untouched East Cape region of New Zealand. Often regarded as producing the finest Manuka honey in New Zealand, Manuka flowers in the East Cape region produce nectar naturally high in Dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a precursor to the key marker Methylglyoxal (MGO).
HONEY YOU CAN TRUST Every batch of WildCape is independently tested by Analytica Laboratories, approved by the New Zealand Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), and certified by the UMF Honey Association. Only UMF measures the 3 signature compounds, Leptosperin, Dihydroxyacetone (DHA) and Methylglyoxal (MGO) present in high quality, authentic Manuka honey.
AUTHENTIC & TRACEABLE Each jar of WildCape Manuka Honey carries the UMF mark, our UMF license number (1075) and a unique batch code which corresponds to a UMF Certificate.

BENEFITS & USES Manuka honey is a natural superfood highly regarded by health practitioners, nutritionists, athletes and people seeking to support a healthy lifestyle.

Mild TasteUnlike manuka honey from other regions in New Zealand, which can be quite acrid and bitter in flavor, the manuka honey from this region is famed for its mild flavors while still retaining its health-enhancing properties.What is UMF honey? The unique manuka factor (UMF) is a special factor not contained in any other variety of honey. Only some strains of the New Zealand manuka bush (leptospermum Scoparium) produce honey containing this unique manuka factor. The UMF brand mark is your assurance that the honey is verified by the UMF honey association.About Wild Cape At Wild Cape, Bill Savage and his team specialize in the production of manuka honey from the wild East Cape region of New Zealand. We ensure that all of our hives are in optimal condition to collect the prized nectar from the native manuka forests. As New Zealand manuka forests begin to flower we take the bees to gather manuka flower nectar. We specifically select manuka forests that will yield Unique manuka factor honey. Not all manuka forests yield honeys with these special properties and the East Cape Region of New Zealand is well know for producing the most potent manuka honey. Once the forests finish flowering we leave the bees to ripen the honey and when the combs are sealed we remove the surplus honey by gently blowing the bees off the combs. These combs are taken back to our base in Gisborne to be put through large centrifuge's which remove the honey but leave the wax comb intact for the bees to use again. About Our Region The Eastcape region comprises the eastern most tip of New Zealand. Geographically isolated by the Raukumara ranges it has remained sparsely populated and unspoiled. The region still has large tracts of virgin forest and endless untouched sweeping sandy beaches.
