Chestnut Honey
€18,00
Chestnut honey is a distinctive honey, favored by those who prefer complex tastes over overly sweet ones. Its bitter taste and strong aroma make it unsuitable for just sweetening; instead, it’s perfect for enhancing flavors and adding aromatic richness. This honey is derived from the colorful blossoms of chestnut trees and is harvested between June and October.
Its consistency is quite liquid, thanks to its high fructose content, preventing crystallization. Variations in color and flavor are influenced by the specific type of chestnut tree, natural microclimates, and weather conditions.
For instance, a dry summer typically yields a more robust honey because bees are less distracted by other flower nectars and focus solely on chestnut blossoms. Generally, the darker the color, the richer and more intense the flavor.
Chestnut honey pairs exceptionally well with roasts and both flavorful and delicate cheeses. When used in moderation, it imparts a distinctive and subtle aroma, appreciated even by those who aren’t fans of sweet-savory contrasts.
Try it on a slice of toasted bread with butter! You’ll discover an entirely new symphony of flavors.
It also complements yogurt and is excellent in cream-based desserts.

To preserve its nutrients and ensure its purity, the most important thing is to keep it raw, meaning it is produced naturally and artisanally, with bees foraging on various types of flowers, and not through an industrial blending process; raw honey is directly extracted from the comb and simply filtered and settled to remove any traces of wax and natural impurities that might be present.
