Italian chestnut honey. 500g jar Chestnut honey boasts a dark color with reddish hues. Because of the high content of fructose, it tends to remain liquid. The bitter taste makes it preferable in comparison to other honey, especially from sweet tooths that imagine a bit too cloying the most marked sweetness of other types of honey. Chestnut honey is the honey of athletes, thanks to the wealth of mineral salts. It is without doubt one of the most suitable honey to accompany a large number of types of cheeses, both aged (pecorini, goats, grana padano and castelmagno) and medium-aged (raschera, taleggio, tome). Great for an energy snack mixed with fresh ricotta.
