– Te Mara Reo
In 1981 Peter Molan MBE, a New Zealand biochemist who migrated from Wales in 1974, began researching the antiseptic properties of Manuka Honey. Specifically it’s high levels of non-peroxide antimicrobial activity. This research resulted in Peter creating an early grading system called the ‘Molan Gold Standard‘.
