From our estate to your table. This monofloral honey comes from the nectar of the chestnut blossom, native to Garfagnana at the foot of the Apuan Alps. Dark and a beautiful deep amber, it reveals a complex profile with a dry and woody character, and a sweet and slightly bitter finish .

Rich in minerals — potassium, manganese, iron and calcium — this honey is also known for its high antioxidant content and antibacterial properties.

Ideally enjoyed on warm bread with fresh goat cheese. For a more unexpected twist, add a teaspoon to your coffee instead of sugar.

Each honey is harvested at a specific time of the season, corresponding to the dominant flowering, in order to preserve the pure expression of each terroir.

Harvesting, extraction and yield:

The cappings are harvested by hand, the frames are removed from the hives and then transferred shortly after harvesting, in food-grade containers, to the extraction area.

The honeycombs are uncapped manually and the honey is extracted by centrifugation at room temperature, without heating or fine filtration.

After natural settling, the honey is jarred. From approximately 10 kg of capped honeycomb, the average yield is between 6 and 7 kg, depending on the flora and the season.
