Jar: 250 gr Tuscan chestnut honey

Chestnut honey is created in the chestnut groves of the Tuscan Apennines: here, our hives are located in the dense shade of centuries-old chestnut trees (Castanea sativa). The magic of these ancient places and the great work of our bees give us a honey with an elegant and fruity flavor, almost bitter and with a dark amber color. Chestnut honey remains liquid for a long time thanks to the richness, among the sugars that compose it, of fructose.

We recommend it with:

Chestnut honey finds excellent use in the kitchen in combination with aged pecorino.

For lovers of its intense aroma, we recommend its use as a sweetener for tea and herbal teas.

The hives are moved from time to time in different places, following the blooms, throughout the Tuscan area: from the coast to the adjacent plain, from the hill to the mountain to produce different monofloral varieties of honey: from the Mediterranean maquis produced in the woods that distinguish the Tuscan landscape, with Acacia, Chestnut and Honeydew honey produced in the Tuscan Apennines, with Sunflower, Ivy, Sulla and Millefiori honey produced along the coast.

From the passion of two young beekeepers for an ancient profession, Mieleria Toscana was born, closely linked to the territory in which it is located, respectful of the role that beekeeping has in the environment. Mieleria Toscana, thanks to its production method, which in beekeeping jargon is called "nomadism", produces monoflora and multiflora honey.
