Chestnut Honey (Italian)

This Chestnut Honey comes from the Italian Alps region.

Chestnut honey has a characteristic woody flavor with notes of licorice and smoke. It finishes with a touch of bitterness. Slightly runny and strong, this honey is distinguished by a dark tint and strong aromas.

This is the fruit of the work of Andrea Bianco, a beekeeper who carries on the traditions of his Father Mario Bianco. This experience has inspired the MB MIELI D'AUTORE line which has won numerous national and international awards.

Collected from chestnut trees growing at 500 to 900 meters above sea level at the base of the mountains near Pont St. Martin, this honey is cultivated in the border area between the Piedmont and the Valle d’Aosta. Great in game marinades and married to richly flavored cheeses. It is the boldest honey from Mario Bianco; a stellar chestnut honey with legions of devout followers.

Mario Bianco performed his artistry with his crew of bees in the town of Caluso, located in the northwestern part of the Piedmont, approximately 45 minutes north of Turin. From that vantage point in the Alpine foothills, Bianco and his team of flying assistants worked the flowering patterns of the local flora to produce an extraordinary variety of honeys. Sadly, Mario Bianco died in a tragic automobile accident at an age far too young. His work is carried on with equal fervor and talent by his son, Andrea Bianco.
