PURITI Wins Again at the 2025 London International Honey Awards

We are thrilled to announced that once again, PURITI has achieved remarkable success on the global stage - winning two gold awards for our UMF 10+ and 20+ Mānuka honey products at the 2025 London International Honey Awards. 

Building on a legacy of excellence, having previously won gold and platinum awards in years gone by, this latest triumph is yet another reflection of PURITI’s unwavering commitment to producing the country’s purest, highest quality Mānuka honey available to the global market. 

In 2024, PURITI walked away with gold and platinum awards for its UMF 10+ and 20+ honey products, back in 2022 we secured another gold award for our UMF 8+ honey - demonstrating the wide range of award-winning products under our brand.

This incredible success is the result of the incredible hard work of each team member responsible for delivering PURITI’s iconic honey products - from our beekeepers  who carefully cultivate our hives in remote locations, to the lab technicians and factory workers who ensure the contents and packaging of the honey are in-line with our high product standards.

The Awards Process

The London International Honey Awards is a premier competition in the world of honey, helping honey producers, beekeepers and sellers ensure that their products are recognised for their quality. By celebrating high quality honey, the awards act as a guide for both shoppers and businesses. 

What makes these awards so special is the fair and strict judging. Each product is given a secret code and judges will blind taste every honey candidate. The judge will carry out a sensory analysis of the product he or she tastes, and will record a numerical rating on the evaluation sheet. 

The criteria will include the general sense of enjoyment (which weighs the most in the final rating) alongside appearance, odor, texture, flavor, and mouth-feel. The products are each evaluated on their distinct and individual properties - they don’t not compete with each other. 

Winning an award through this respected competition isn’t about bragging rights. It’s a stamp of authority on our claims to produce some of the finest New Zealand Mānuka honey available to the market. As a producer of 100% authentic Mānuka honey, it’s critical that the awards reflect our dedication to quality. 

How We Won This Award

There’s no silver bullet when it comes to winning prestigious awards. But there is a method to our success, and it’s best reflected in one word. 

Standards. 

At PURITI, we don't just aim to meet the standards set by the New Zealand government or industry bodies; it’s our starting point. For our honey producers, these standards are the absolute minimum. We believe that true quality means going above and beyond, consistently pushing ourselves to achieve levels of purity and excellence that few others can match. 

This dedication is evident in every jar of our New Zealand Mānuka honey - and it’s why our products win the awards like those secured at the London International Honey Awards. 

Take, for instance, our approach to testing. While legal requirements exist for exported Mānuka Honey, PURITI voluntarily conducts additional tests for contaminants that consumers are increasingly concerned about, like Glyphosate residue. 

We want our customers to have complete confidence in what they're buying, knowing that their award-winning Mānuka honey is as pure as nature intended. This proactive stance on safety and purity is a cornerstone of our philosophy.
