The truth is we have always been a little bit crazy about honey. You could actually say we’re three times more passionate about it than the average Joe.

So when we discovered that in 1839 a pioneer woman named Mary arrived on kiwi shores not with the usual dainty accoutrements of the English immigrant but instead with two beehives, we knew we’d found our hero and the inspiration for our new Mānuka honey brand.

We will forever honour Mary’s pioneering spirit and instinct for innovation and adventure in all we do at 1839.

Our process of triple churning the honey before we let it leave home is a fine example of this. 

Others mix their honey for a day before they pack and dispatch. 1839? First, to coax out the natural flavours, we let the honey sit for months in hand marked barrels. 

Then it’s three full days in the magical tub of honey love. Yes, that’s how long it takes to mix and fold and churn our exquisite raw ingredient, polishing the natural sugar crystals ever so gently into the silkiest creamiest gift from our New Zealand honey bees to you.

We deliberately scatter our hives in the nooks and crannies of the Mānuka covered mountains of New Zealand, far away from the contaminants of modern life!

Our team then work with mother nature to deliver the silkiest creamiest gift from our New Zealand Honey bees to you.

We want you to be completely confident with the quality and integrity of our product. So every single jar of 1839 honey comes with its own unique code. 

When you scan that code with your smart phone, the product’s origin and authenticity is instantly verified.

When you’re as passionate about honey as we are, you’re passionate about protecting its authenticity too.

NOTE: Our Manuka honey is UMF & MGO certified and verified at accredited laboratories in New Zealand.
