Mr JB – Lovely taste – 5/5 stars

“Lovely tasting honey and not at all sharp like some produce more commonly found in the shops.”

Like all of the other products on this list, this Manuka Doctor Manuka honey is reliably sourced from New Zealand. It has a lower MGO number, which means it has a medium strength. This doesn’t particularly make too  much difference to its taste, just the potency of its antibacterial qualities.

If you’re after hive-to-home honey that’s New Zealand approved and tested in the laboratory, then Manuka Doctor Manuka honey at Holland & Barrett comes highly recommended.
