Chestnut (Castagno) Honey by Franca Franzoni

Average Customer Rating 4.8 Stars: 

 (2 Reviews)


In the 1970's, Franca Franzoni started keeping bees to supply her home with honey. She now produces four different kinds of honey at her country estate in the area near Chianti. Franca's passion for beekeeping and her knowledge of nature's ever-changing landscape of blooms help her create the incredible golden nectar we know as Franca's honey.

Franca's farm is near the village of Polo, located just south of Florence in the Chianti region. It is surrounded by fields of wild flowers, acacia and chestnut trees. Franca considers herself a partner in the bee's efforts, aiding in the building of the hives, carefully planning the bee's foraging path and assuring production of a pure, clean artisan product.

Once the honey is separated from the comb by centrifugation, it is filtered. After that, the honey is decanted for 20 days. The final product is poured into jars and is ready for shipment. Ms. Franzoni believes in keeping the whole and pure flavors of the honey intact. Her honey contains only pure honey, nothing else.

Each jar of Franca Franzoni Chestnut Honey contains 500g or 17oz. (Note: All Franca Franzoni honeys are numbered, denoting limited production.)

We had a honey tasting party September 20, 2012

I had a local honey and a Virginia Wildflower honey, so the chestnut honey and lavender were the exotics. They were also the favorites.

The chestnut honey was smokey and leathery and especially delicious on smoked meats and gorgonzola. The group also felt it enhanced the flavor of several wines !!The lavender was the hands down favorite of the group. They put it on mild cheese, fruits, and just about everything else. It was a great party with terrific taste sensations.

Chestnut Honey March 18, 2012
By
I had almost given up hope of finding a Chestnut Honey, specifically we were looking for an Austrian Chestnut Honey. The only one I could find would cost $40 to import etc. So we took a chance given the growing regions in Northern Italy were close to the regions where the chestnut trees/honey is harvested in Austria. I didn't go wrong! The Cucina product is amazing. It is not only great to have on toast or on a banana but also used as a glaze for fish. Enjoy !!!
