Brezzo Miele di Castagno Biologico
Organic chestnut honey by Brezzo from Piedmont, dark and bitter.
Brezzo Miele di Castagno Biologico is the organic chestnut honey of the Piedmont firm Brezzo. Its colour is a deep amber with a red cast, and Brezzo credits the large share of fructose for keeping it runny.
Brezzo calls the taste bitter and notes that this is exactly why people who find other honeys too sweet like it. Brezzo points out that chestnut honey is produced in all Italian regions, with the main crops in the mountains of the Alps and Apennines; this organic jar comes from Piedmont.
Why this matters to you: a bitter chestnut honey balances salty cheese better than pale, sweet varieties do.
