Chestnut Honey

Le Querce is a family-run business in northwestern Italy, specifically in the rich vegetation of the Anfiteatro Morenico – an area known for its beautiful wildflowers. The family’s access to a wide breadth of Italian wildflowers allows for a large variety of nutritious honey products. This particular honey is harvested in the woods of Piedmont and Calabria, at both the north and south points of Italy. This dark amber honey has a velvety liquid consistency, with surprisingly bitter and cocoa-reminiscient flavor notes. It pairs amazingly well with baked whole-grain breads – either used in the dough mixture or drizzled on afterward. It also tastes wonderful with toasted nuts, craft beers and black tea.
