Honey

Monofloral honey produced by our bees, which live near Robinia Pseudoacacia trees within our estate and draw nectar exclusively from them. It is from the blossoms of this tree, when pollinated by bees, that this distinctive honey is derived—lightly floral in aroma, with a uniquely sweet, vanilla-like flavor. Acacia honey is very light in color, almost transparent, and has a naturally liquid consistency. t has a very low crystallization rate and can remain in a liquid state for a very long time, thanks to its high fructose concentration compared to glucose. On the contrary, honeys with a lower ratio tend to crystallize more quickly. Harvest area: Villa Viscarda – Parco dei Colli di Bergamo Our beehives are located in the wooded areas of our estate, far from sources of heavy pollution and industrial emissions. As a result, the honey preserves its natural characteristics, undergoing no treatments whatsoever. We do not feed the bees with any sugary substances, nor do we use chemical synthetics or antibiotics.

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.
