Capilano Manuka Honey MGO 100+

Brand and Product Overview

Capilano Manuka Honey MGO 100+ is produced by Capilano, one of Australia's most recognized and long-standing honey brands. Founded in 1953 by brothers J.C. (Tim) and H.A. (Bert) Smith in Brisbane, Queensland, Capilano originally operated as a cooperative packer and distributor for local Australian beekeepers.

Origin and Sourcing

This specific product is 100% pure Australian Manuka honey, sourced from native Leptospermum tea trees across Australia. The honey is harvested, tested for its natural methylglyoxal (MGO) bioactive content, and packaged in Australia in recycled plastic squeeze bottles.

Corporate Ownership

In late 2018, Capilano Honey Limited was acquired by Hive + Wellness Australia (initially a consortium involving Bega Cheese and private equity firm Roc Partners, later operating under the Hive + Wellness corporate banner). Hive + Wellness Australia remains an Australian-owned entity focused on apiculture and natural health foods, distributing Capilano products globally, including to major supermarkets and retailers across the United Kingdom.
