Chestnut Honey (Castagna from Caluso)
Direct from Italy to you
Collected from chestnut trees at the base of the mountains near Pont St. Martin in the Piedmont region of Italy; assertive bitterness to the finish; dark
color; robust flavor with unmistakable aroma; outstanding in game marinades and with richly flavored cheeses or our favorite over vanilla gelato or ice cream.
About the Bee Keeper - The Mario Bianco family and their hardworking crew of bees work the flowering
patterns of the local flora near their home in Caluso to produce an extraordinary
variety of honeys. Much of the bees' work is done in the Alpine foothills of the
national park of Gran Paradiso that straddles the border of Piedmont and the
Valle d’Aosta. In this zone, one finds Cherry Blossoms and Acacia on the lower
slopes and then Dandelion, Linden Blossom, Rhododendron and Chestnut trees
as one proceeds to higher altitudes.
