Its intense and woody aroma, combined with its peppery and less sweet taste, makes this honey special. The slightly bitter aftertaste gives it an intense and lasting sensation. Ideal for culinary use, especially in combination with meats, Chestnut Honey is slow to crystallize due to its low glucose content, maintaining its liquid form for approximately 1.5 to 2 years. This special variety of honey, produced from the chestnut tree, is known for its rich taste and special properties.
