Antonio's Organic Chestnut Honey is a deep and malty tasting tree honey which has a beautiful rich and nutty flavour, which many people adore. Chestnut can lend a bitter taste to honey but not always, it is known to be one of the most varied types of honey in taste, differing greatly from one area to another. This honey comes from bees feeding on Sweet Chestnut trees. It is quite different from the blossom varieties which are light and subtle, this is dark and more potent. Antonio's raw chestnut honey is a beautiful deep flavoured variety. It has slight caramel notes as well as a deep sweetness. These tree type honey varieties tend to be more favoured by adults as children tend not to like the deeper complex tasting honey types. This honey is a wonderful middling dark brown, which goes slightly red in the light. The sweet chestnut tree, also known as Castano in Spanish, is a large deciduous tree which produces edible nuts. The bees love to feed on the sap that comes from the tree as well as the blossoms that it produces. The tree lends a beautiful and unique taste to the honey. The nutty flavour carries through as well as a taste a little similar to maple syrup but slightly more rich and malty. Chestnut honey is particularly good to use in different recipes, such as: cakes, cookies, desert toppings, ice creams, warm honey teas, salads and meat glazes. Chestnut honey is often higher in fructose than other types, this serves as good source of energy. Hence, a spoon of chestnut honey helps to relieve fatigue immediately.
