Why is chestnut honey darker and more bitter than others?

Bees collect chestnut honey exclusively from the flowers of chestnut trees rich in tannins - the same compounds that give character to red wine and tea. It's the tannins that create the characteristic dark colour, strong aroma and gentle bitterness on the finish. That's not a flaw - it's exactly why lovers of real honey always come back.

Will it crystallise?

Chestnut honey crystallises much more slowly than acacia or wildflower honey thanks to its higher fructose content - which means it stays liquid and ready to use for longer. If crystallisation does occur, that's proof the honey is raw and real. Place the jar in a water bath up to 40°C and stir slowly until the crystals dissolve.

Can I give it to children?

Chestnut honey is not suitable for children under 12 months due to naturally present spores. For older children and adults without an allergy to bee products - it's a perfect everyday food full of minerals and enzymes.

What about the honey's shelf life?

Natural honey technically does not expire. Stored properly in a dry and dark place, Zumzz Chestnut stays excellent for years. On the jar we state a date up to which we guarantee top quality - but the honey certainly lasts even longer.

Everything you need to know about Zumzz Chestnut honey — in one place.

Why is Zumzz Chestnut more expensive than supermarket honey? +

Supermarket honey goes through pasteurisation at 70–80°C and fine filtering — processes that make honey visually appealing and extend shelf life, but destroy enzymes, pollen, propolis and antioxidants. Zumzz Chestnut is raw, minimally filtered and straight from the hive. You're buying honey as it is — not marketing packed into a jar.

How long does one jar last and how is it stored? +

Natural honey actually does not expire — historians have found honey thousands of years old that was perfectly edible. Stored properly in a dry and dark place, Zumzz Chestnut is excellent for years. Recommended consumption: 1–2 teaspoons a day. A 450g jar lasts 3–4 months of daily use, a 900g one about 6–8 months.

What does chestnut honey pair best with? +

Chestnut honey is excellent:
• With hard and semi-hard cheeses (pecorino, manchego, aged gouda) — a gourmet combination that needs no chef
• In lukewarm tea instead of sugar — depth of flavour without empty calories
• Drizzled over Greek yoghurt with walnuts — an ideal breakfast
• Straight off the spoon in the morning — a quick ritual that gives the body minerals before the day begins

What if my honey crystallises? +

Crystallisation is not a defect — it's proof the honey is real and unprocessed. Pasteurised honey rarely crystallises, and that's exactly what reveals it has gone through industrial processes. When your Zumzz Chestnut crystallises, place the jar in a warm water bath (max. 40°C) and stir slowly. Never use a microwave — a temperature above 40°C irreversibly destroys the enzymes and nutritional value that made you buy this honey in the first place.
