Chestnut Honey

The favorite of the most honey-eaters for its special and spectacular taste. \n \nChestnut honeys are amber to dark amber in color, with clear brownish-green hues that are more visible in the upper area, where the honey touches the glass of the container. They have a very particular aroma, with a clear woody component, dry wood, like that of the boots where wines are aged, and a floral base. \n \nThe taste is also particular, sweet but slightly cloying as it has clear salty notes, and, if there is a certain important presence of brambles, acid notes. \n \nIt has little tendency to crystallize, except if in the flowering of the chestnut the bees also collected enough nectar from the herbaceous legumes of the accompanying meadows (clovers, vetches...). \n<strong> \nPAIRING: \n</strong> \nLike other dark honeys with marked aromas and tastes, chestnut honeys combine well with game meats and the like, with slightly fatty desserts (ice cream, nuts, pastries with oil or butter) and with floury desserts. . \n \n<strong>ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS: </strong> \n<ul> \n <li>Smell: strong, woody.</li> \n <li>Colour: very dark amber</li> \n <li>Consistency: very thick</li> \n</ul> \n&nbsp; \n \n<strong>PRODUCTION AREA:</strong> \n \nTalavera (Toledo).
