Chestnut Honey from Ardèche

Chestnut honey – a strong taste, a responsible origin

Produced responsibly, Hédène chestnut honey respects the bees and the natural functioning of the hive, guaranteeing a high-quality product with a taste as strong as its character.

This forest honey is distinguished by its amber color, ranging from deep brown, and by its liquid texture when harvested, which can become creamy over time thanks to its high fructose content. Slow crystallization at low temperatures preserves its wellness qualities and natural richness. Its full-bodied taste, vegetal flavor, intense nose and slightly bitter notes make it a honey that lingers on the palate, with a dark color and robust fragrance. Each jar of honey offers a unique sensory experience, ideal for lovers of strong honeys in search of an authentic honey with an assertive personality.
