Provenance: The nectariferous source of chestnut honey is Castanea sativa Mill., the tree from which we can also harvest chestnuts. It is widespread in continental climates, even in Friuli. It is a plant often affected by pathologies that affect the production of nectar as well as the production of fruits, which is why it is not always possible to obtain honey with high content of pollen. Harvesting season: Honey harvesting begins in June, it is one of the last useful and nectar-filled blooms for bees. The harvest is influenced by summer rainfall: in very dry weather the honey will be heavily loaded and made almost in purity. Processing type: Chestnut honey being one of the last harvests and not being subject to fast crystallization is stored in honeycombs until the very late season honey is honed. Beneficial properties: Chestnut honey has many widely recognized properties including a strong antimicrobial quality and can help in the treatment of ulcers and infections. The antioxidant properties and iron content are also higher than other honeys. 250g jar
