Chestnut honey is not as sweet as other honeys and is very rich of mineral salts, which is why it is widely used by athletes. It is one of the most suitable honeys to accompany many types of cheeses.
Of all the Italian unifloral honeys, Chestnut honey is the only one to be produced in all regions, although the important harvests come mainly from the mountainous areas of the Alps and the Apennines.
Wonderful in combination with mature cheeses (pecorino, caprini, grana padano and castelmagno) and medium-aged cheeses (raschera, taleggio, tome). Also very suitable with ricotta.
