Chestnut Honey

One of Italian’s most evocative artisan food products is honey. Like grapes and olives it is a true reflection of the terroir of the region. Raw and unfiltered this artisan Italian honey comes from beehives in the protected national parks along Tuscany's Etruscan coast. The end to a traditional Tuscan meal would be a slice of Pecorino Toscano cheese drizzled with chestnut honey served with a fresh pear. Darker and richer than most honeys, Italian chestnut honey is a product of the forest with an aroma and flavor that can add a sweet and savory note to a variety of dishes. Try it with oatmeal in the morning or breakfast crespelle (Italian crepes) to add a touch of the sweetness of Italy to your day.

La Storia of: Chestnut  Honey  Miele di Castagno 

Made by: Apicoltura Pablo Pescia and the nomadic bees of Tuscany 

Whole virgin unfiltered Tuscan monofloral honey. Pablo Pescia dedication to preserving the environment and ecosystems of his native Tuscany means that he transports his beehives to seasonally flowering zones and the protected national parks along Tuscany's Etruscan coast to produce this stunningly beautiful and aromatic miele di Castagno (Chestnut Honey).  This bronze (dark amber) colored honey is raw and unfiltered and all production is done by hand. Chestnut honey is higher in antioxidants with greater anti-inflammatory properties.
