Chestnut Honey – ORGANIC Nectar of the Earth 400 gr PREMIUM selection

Chestnut honey is subject to a slow crystallization process like acacia and is therefore always liquid.

Along with a few other honeys, the chestnut has an intense bitter aftertaste which divides its admirers from its detractors.

In any case it is a honey rich in tannins, has an extremely high antioxidant capacity and contains very high levels of phenolic acid: these properties make it a food able to help fight the harmful effects of free radicals caused by pollution, medicines, smoke , pesticides, sun rays. Our production sites are in Valle Po and Val d'Ala.
