Tuscan honeys

Tuscan honey

It is at the foot of the Tuscan Apennine mountains that the honeybee Apis mellifera, known as European, extends its foraging over a vast territory composed of chestnut trees, acacias and wild meadows of the Apuan Alps, located up to a hundred kilometers around the hive.

This floral diversity gives it a multi-sensory character and a faithful reflection of the local terroir.

By participating in the pollination of orchards and gardens, bees support harvests and the natural balance of the estate, creating a harmonious and beneficial symbiosis for the environment.

Aromatic Notes

Chestnut Flower

The dominant floral note of Castanea sativa gives this honey its deep amber hue and assertive character. Darker and more intense than most honeys, it is distinguished by a herbaceous and woody aroma, reminiscent of the forest — aromatic, resinous and slightly powerful .

Its flavor is rich and complex: earthy, spicy, and delicately tannic, with subtle notes of toasted wood or malt beneath a controlled sweetness. The bitterness, fine and measured, is balanced by a pleasant warmth and a lingering depth. The finish is long, marked by notes of spice, bark, and wild herbs.

This honey, with its assertive character and natural mineral richness, pairs perfectly with mature cheeses, rustic breads, or savory dishes.

Wildflowers

With its light golden color, wildflower honey reveals a sweet and floral aroma, reflecting the diversity of blooms in the Tuscan meadows. Its aromatic profile is fruity , with light herbaceous and woody nuances.

On the palate, it is supple, soft and balanced — delicate on the tongue, with a light and persistent sweetness.

Texture & finish

Both honeys have a fluid, slightly viscous texture, enveloping the palate with a creamy and silky sensation.

Wildflower honey finishes on a sweet and light note, while chestnut honey leaves a deeper, woodier and spicy imprint.
