Chestnut honey is a raw flower honey that has a beautifully dark amber colour, an intense aroma, and a rich, woody taste with delightful nutty notes.
What is it?
Bees collect chestnut honey from the flowering blossoms of sweet chestnut trees. It is renowned for its uniquely layered flavour profile, which features earthy tones and hints of smoke, making it distinctive and sought after, as recognized by the Great Taste Awards.
Its moderate sweetness makes it an excellent choice for those looking for a less sweet option compared to most other types of honey.
- You can drizzle it over toast, porridge, or yogurt for a perfect start to your day.
- Use it to create a delicious glaze for honey roasted chestnuts or added to salad dressings for a culinary twist.
- As a healthy alternative to sugar, adding a spoonful to your tea or coffee will provide a delightful energy boost.
- It pairs wonderfully with hard cheese, ideal for gourmet experience.
Health Benefits
- Chestnut honey contains more minerals and bioflavonoids than most other blossom honeys, making it one of the healthiest varieties available.
- It is a source of prebiotics, and regular consumption may improve gut health and aid digestion.
- Naturally rich in antibacterial and anti-inflammatory compounds, it may also boost your immune system and enhance its resilience to infections.
This is unpasteurised and unprocessed raw honey, bursting with healthy natural goodness.

Comments from the Great Taste Judges:
"The honey has a beautiful golden translucent appearance, with a bright aroma that suggests the clarity of the environment and the chestnuts. What makes this honey special is that you can taste the honeycomb right from the start, and it remains rich in that mineral taste through a very long finish."
