Best Manuka Honey Brand Wins Third Consecutive Award

Biosota Organics is proud to announce that its MGO 2200+ Australian Manuka Honey has been awarded Platinum for Quality at the 2026 London International Honey Awards - the competition’s highest tier, reserved for honeys scoring between 95.5 and 100 out of 100, defending their title as the best Manuka honey brand. The result places Biosota among the world’s leading premium Manuka honey producers for a third consecutive year.

Platinum is the top quality classification awarded by the London International Honey Awards. To reach it, MGO 2200+ was assessed through the competition’s “blind” method - tasted without packaging or any identifying feature, with each sample given a code number for traceability - and scored by a Jury Panel of international judges on appearance, odour, texture, flavour, mouth-feel, and overall sense of enjoyment.

Known for producing some of the highest strength Manuka honey available anywhere in the world, Biosota’s award-winning MGO 2200+ continues to hold the record for the highest strength MGO grade achieved globally, representing an exceptionally rare level of naturally occurring methylglyoxal (MGO) lab-verified in Manuka honey.

What Platinum recognition means

The London International Honey Awards are a globally recognised competition celebrating excellence across the honey industry. Products are evaluated on their own distinct and individual properties rather than competing against one another, and a Platinum result reflects exceptional standards in quality, purity, craftsmanship, authenticity, and presentation. For consumers, an internationally judged award offers an independent, third-party signal of quality - a reliable marker that the honey in the jar has been verified beyond the producer’s own claims.

A family commitment to quality

“This award is a team effort of our world-class beekeepers, and the factory and office staff that played a crucial role in our quality standards - so well done, team!” said Andrey Zubko, co-founder of Biosota Organics.

Rare, high-strength Australian Manuka honey

Harvested from remote Australian forests rich in native Leptospermum species, Biosota’s MGO 2200+ is independently laboratory tested for MGO strength, authenticity, and purity to ensure every batch meets the standards expected from premium medicinal-grade Australian Manuka honey.

Unlike regular honey, Manuka honey naturally contains DHA, which gradually converts into methylglyoxal over time. MGO is recognised globally as one of the key markers used to measure the strength and bioactive antibacterial properties of Manuka honey. Due to the rarity of naturally achieving ultra-high MGO levels, MGO 2200+ is produced in extremely limited quantities and is widely regarded as one of the rarest Manuka honey products available worldwide.

As global demand continues to rise for the best Manuka honey and the best Australian Manuka honey, the 2026 Platinum result reinforces Australia’s growing reputation for producing rare, high-strength Manuka honey supported by scientific verification, traceable sourcing, and the unique Australian Leptospermum species capable of producing exceptionally high MGO concentrations of monofloral Manuka honey.

In addition to independent laboratory verification, Biosota Manuka honey is raw, non-pasteurised, non-GMO, and packaged in premium Miron Violetglass jars designed to help protect the honey’s natural properties from light exposure. As awareness around premium Manuka honey continues to expand globally, Biosota remains committed to producing high-strength Australian Manuka honey defined by purity, transparency, rarity, and scientifically verified quality.
