Why Choose New Zealand Ingredients?

New Zealand’s clean air, fertile soil, and pristine waters create the perfect environment for nutritionally superior plants and natural ingredients. More than 80% of the country’s native plants are found nowhere else on Earth, making New Zealand ingredients truly unique. For example, the Manuka tree, native only to New Zealand, produces nectar used to create premium Manuka honey and specialized extracts for health and wellness products.

Pristine Environment for Exceptional Quality

With 15,811 km (9,824 miles) of coastline and countless rivers and lakes, New Zealand’s marine and freshwater ecosystems are among the most diverse and unspoiled in the world. The clean and carefully managed environment ensures that ingredients from both land and sea meet high international standards for purity and quality.

World-Renowned Honey and Bee Products

New Zealand honey is celebrated globally for its health benefits and unique flavors. Home to nearly one million managed hives, the country’s beekeepers produce honey from mountain highlands to lowland pastures, resulting in a wide spectrum of textures and flavors.

The New Zealand honey industry combines traditional beekeeping with modern technology, ensuring that all honey is authentic, pure, and high-quality. Strict standards and innovation are maintained at every stage, from production to processing. This dedication ensures that both local and international customers can trust the integrity of New Zealand honey and bee products.

Commitment to Sustainability and Excellence

Beyond flavor and quality, New Zealand’s honey producers are passionate about sustainable and responsible practices, protecting the environment while supporting the vital role of bees as pollinators. This ensures that each jar of honey or bee product reflects not just nature’s bounty, but also careful stewardship and care.
