Mieli Thun Chestnut Honey - 8.5oz

Mieli Thun Chestnut Honey is produced at the end of June and the first half of July in the Trentino-Alto Adige region.  This honey is extraordinarily versatile and is one the richest in minerals. Amber in color, sometimes dark-amber with reddish hues, it has an aromatic, herbal and pungent aroma and flavor with a slightly bitter and tannic aftertaste.  It goes great will all sorts of savory foods.

In 1992, Andrea Paternoster took over the family business from his grandfather with much determination and passion to expand the business and the honey catchment areas beyond the Trentino region.  Andrea's dream is to capture the unique essence of each variety of flower in a series of single-blossom honeys.  Taking his bees with him, he travels all over Italy following the flowering seasons of dozens of different types of flowers.  Andrea told us that his art is about being in harmony with his bees and having a skill for timing and sensitivity. But the skill goes into the extraction of the honey, which is all done without pasteurization or any additives.  Each varietal of honey is special as the fragrance and flavor of each flower species is captured in the honey.
