Description
Chestnut honey is one of the most distinctive and complex Italian monofloral honeys. It ranges in color from amber to dark brown, often with reddish or greenish highlights, depending on the harvest and origin.
It crystallizes slowly, often remaining in liquid or semi-liquid form for extended periods. Its aroma is intense and persistent, with earthy, woody, and balsamic notes, sometimes evoking tobacco leaf, leather, or bark. These scents are powerful and unmistakable, a hallmark of this unique honey.
The taste is equally bold, with a low sweetness, high minerality, and a characteristic bitter aftertaste that lingers and evolves on the palate. This bitterness is not a defect but a prized trait, appreciated by connoisseurs for its balance and depth.
Chestnut honey is ideal for those seeking a honey with strong personality and structure. It pairs exceptionally well with aged cheeses, game meats, and full-bodied wines, offering a sophisticated and lasting sensory experience.
