For Onuku, this honey begins with the whenua. The Trust cares for approximately 2,363 hectares of ancestral land connected to Ngāti Rangitihi, extending from the foothills of Mount Tarawera towards Lake Rotomahana. Mānuka grows across this remarkable landscape, where bees gather nectar during its short flowering season to create a honey with a genuine connection to its place of origin.

The story behind every jar is about more than honey. Onuku was created to build opportunities from Māori-owned land and share its benefits with the Trust's owners and their descendants. Choosing Onuku supports a Māori-owned business working to care for the whenua, strengthen its community and create prosperity for future generations.

Yes. Our mānuka honey comes directly from Onuku in Whakatāne, New Zealand, a 100% Māori-owned producer. We work directly with their team and import the honey to the Netherlands.

Our honey is UMF 15+ / MGO 515, meaning it has been independently graded for its mānuka properties. It is produced in New Zealand from genuine mānuka nectar and fully traceable back to the producer.
