Mario Bianco says “Bees make the honey, all we do is lead them to the flowers.” He performs his artistry with his crew of bees in the town of Caluso, located in the northwestern part of the Piedmont, approximately 45 minutes north of Turin. From that vantage point in the Alpine foothills, Bianco and his team of flying assistants follow the flowering patterns of the local flora to produce an extraordinary variety of honeys.
This Chestnut honey comes from the Valle d'Aosta. The nectar is collected from chestnut trees growing at 500 to 900 meters above sea level at the base of the mountains near Pont St. Martin. The honey has an assertive bitterness to the finish; dark color; robust flavor with unmistakable perfume; outstanding in game marinades and married to richly flavored cheeses. 500 g
