Chestnut honey has very specific characteristics and properties. It‘s dark in color, has a pungent odor and taste very bitter and that is why he is loved by an increasingly larger number of people. Chestnut honey may have a lighter color if the prevalence of nectar, a higher moisture content and odor and flavor more pronounced, and where the honeydew is present in considerable quantity, the color is darker, the lower water content, odor and aroma are less pungent and the taste is less bitter. The color is dark amber and the crystallization is absent or very slow. It has a characteristic strong smell of undergrowth. The flavor is intense, with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
To produce honey “Monoflorale” (one flower honey) the practice of ‘”Nomad Beekeeping“ is adopted. The nomad beekeeping is a way to move the hives from place to place depending on the presence of plants in bloom. Moreover, these displacements enable the production of flower honeys allowing a better supply of the final product. Today the movement of hives occur on the road: they are loaded at night (when all the bees have returned) and unloaded at sunrise
