Chestnut honey

Chestnut Honey is obtained from chestnut flowers and is harvested between the months of June and July, at the slopes of Etna. Unlike many other honeys, the chestnut one has a color ranging from yellow-brown to almost black, with very dark and intense amber shades; its smell is aromatic and its taste is much less sweet, with a bitter aftertaste that can also be appreciated on savory dishes of meat and mature cheeses. Its consistency is rather liquid and the reason lies in the richness of fructose that determines the absence of crystallization. In general, the darker the color, the richer and more intense the taste.
