Chestnut honey is dark, with an extremely strong and characteristic smell and a strong bitter taste. It crystallizes slowly.

Chestnut, the king of forest expanses, is one of the most valuable trees for beekeepers. Chestnut honey, with its dark color and strong plant-like scent, is known above all for its flavor. Simultaneously sweet and tart, it offers a rare bittersweet profile that makes it a true honey delicacy.

Its flowers are extremely rich in pollen, making chestnut honey one of the most intense and complex bee products. This type of honey is immediately recognizable—by its dark hue, earthy aroma, and a taste that combines bitterness, astringency, and deep sweetness.

Chestnut honey is a specialty sought after by those who love strong, unconventional flavors—those that make a statement rather than blend in. In the honey world, it’s often described as “masculine honey” due to its robust aroma, thick texture, and distinctive sharpness. It’s perfect for eating by the spoon, as well as enhancing gourmet meals and desserts.

Thanks to its high content of antioxidants, tannins, and minerals, chestnut honey is associated with supporting circulation and fighting fatigue. Its rich nutritional profile makes it a functional product for those who want more than just sweetness.
