Origin
Périgord, France

Copper glints in its dark depths. In the Périgord Regional Natural Park, chestnut trees blossom from mid-June to late August, and Hédène harvests its Chestnut Honey from August to mid-September. Liquid and of surprising intensity, it offers powerful woody aromas, warm scents of grilled caramel, and a long finish with a very subtle bitterness: a full-bodied honey of genuine character. Pair it with a Roquefort or a mature Comté, or use it to glaze a duck breast.
