Chestnut honey has particular characteristics and properties. The color is dark with reddish hues and due to the high fructose content it remains liquid. The taste is bitter and for this reason it is highly appreciated by consumers who consider the sweetness of other types of honey to be a bit cloying.
Chestnut honey is very rich in mineral salts, which is why it is widely used by athletes. It is one of the most suitable honeys to accompany numerous types of cheeses.
Pairings
Chestnut honey is one of the most used honeys in the kitchen and in combination with mature cheeses (pecorino, caprini, grana padano and castelmagno) and medium-aged cheeses (raschera, taleggio, tome). Also very suitable with ricotta.
