Awarded the rare 3 stars at The Great Taste Awards 2023. So, what did the judges say?

“Everything you desire in a Chestnut Honey. The colour is deep amber, the shine and gloss are superb. The light shines through it. A barely bitter, lightly sweet honey with notes of camphor and a deep caramel finish that lingers. If this was home-made caramel it would have been made to perfection. Caramel taken to the edge of bitterness, then pulled back at just the right time. Clever bees…”

The taste: A unique honey, not too sweet with an almost bitter, strong aromatic aftertaste. Very popular by those who like a strong honey with a difference. Can be dark in colour, ranging from yellowish brown to almost black, it has an aromatic, pungent herbal aroma, and taste. It is rich in pollen content, mineral salts, and tannin. Excellent with aged cheeses like Stracchino or Ricotta or even the Tuscan way; drizzled over a piece of Pecorino Toscano with fresh pears.
