Monofloral chestnut honey varies in its flavor nuances according to the weather during the year it was harvested. Its floral aroma with dry wood components accompanies a sweet flavor with bitter notes, that will be more or less present depending on how much the heather family has flowered on that given year.
During the harvest of the beehive, the panels with the highest chestnut content are chosen. They are then left to rest before testing the pollen in a laboratory to certify that their chestnut pollen content is greater than 70%.
