Does it matter where Manuka Honey is sourced?

The best Manuka comes from New Zealand.  Within New Zealand, there is a high concentration of producers in Kerikeri, two hours North of Auckland, which is where we source our Manuka from.  While there are companies offering Manuka Honey from countries other than New Zealand, it is important to verify product authenticity as there is always a chance that the products are falsely marketed as Manuka Honey, but are not.
