Description

The first honey to receive the DOP (Protected Designation of Origin) label in Italy.

Organic and DOP chestnut honey is harvested from Castanea sativa M during the second half of June to the first half of July in the Lunigiana region of Tuscany.

Liquid in form, it may experience partial crystallization over time, due to the presence of blackberry nectar. Dark amber in color, often with reddish tones, it has a marked, aromatic, pungent aroma. Not excessively sweet, almost always has a bitter aftertaste. Intense, tannic, very persistent aroma.

It pairs perfectly with fresh cheeses like ricotta, but reaches perfection with aged cheeses like Parmigiano Reggiano. In cooking, it complements strong flavors and is ideal for glazing meat.
