Chestnut honey has a strong aromatic taste and a slightly bitter after taste. Rich in pollen content, mineral salts, such as potassium, iron, calcium, magnesia, sodium and manganese, and tannin, with a high proportion of fructose that resists crystallization and a relatively low acidity.

Dark in color, ranging from yellowish brown to almost black, sometimes with amber hues, it has an aromatic, pungent herbal aroma and taste and slightly tannic (due to the tannin in the tree). The flavor is unique, not very sweet and with an almost bitter aftertaste and very persistent, highly appreciated by those who like a strong, less sweet honey.

It is excellent with aged cheeses or Ricotta and drizzled over a piece of Pecorino with some fresh pears.
