Italian chestnut honey is known for a bold, aromatic character. It is an appealing alternative to mild honey when you want a distinctive ingredient for a cheese board or dessert.
What does chestnut honey taste like?
Its flavor is typically intense, woody or herbal, sometimes with a pleasantly bitter finish. Color and exact flavor vary with harvest and floral sources. Those characteristics are why it pairs well with savory foods.
Cheese board pairings
Try a small drizzle with aged pecorino, blue cheese or creamy goat cheese. Add walnuts, pear slices and rustic bread for a balanced tasting board.
Breakfast and desserts
Use a little with plain yogurt, toasted nuts or roasted pears. Because the flavor is assertive, start with a small amount and adjust to your preference.
Choosing honey thoughtfully
Read the product's origin and labeling information. Honey is a sugar-rich food, not a medicine, and should be enjoyed as part of a varied diet. Never give honey to babies under 12 months.
