It is only from wild varieties of the chestnut that honey is obtained. The bees collect the pollen from the male flowers, which are so rich in pollen that the wind is the main agent of pollination.
Thus chestnut honey is very rich in pollen, which gives it a very strong flavour.
It is also very rich in tannin.
Colour: dark
Flavour: strong, persistent, sometimes cloying if pure
Aroma: pungent
Crystallisation: very slow when pure, or when blended with acacia honey; when it is blended with the honey of forest or meadow flowers, the crystals are coarse and compact.
