This chestnut honey has amazing depth of flavor that lingers on the palate long after your first taste. It may be a surprise for some who haven't had real chestnut honey before. This has a crystallized texture and a dark amber color. The aroma is deeply earthy with some woodsiness and background floral notes. The flavor follows naturally from the aroma with a rich caramelized bitter sweetness.
My first taste of chestnut honey from France was this past weekend when I received a gift of a jar of Chataigner honey. It was absolutely superb! This honey is not for the faint of palate, but if you like strongly flavored honey with a hint of umami & bitter, this is for you. For me, there was a lingering deliciousness of black locust blossom fragrance as well.
