About this Honey

A classic Italian and French varietal (Castagno), harvested in early summer. This honey is dark brown to black and stays liquid for a long time. It is not for the faint of heart—the flavor is complex, savory, leather-like, and distinctly bitter. It is almost never used as a sweetener, but rather paired with aged cheeses or used in rustic meat dishes.
