Flavour
Antonio’s Raw Chestnut Honey offers a rich, malty flavour that honey enthusiasts adore. This variety has layers of caramel sweetness, balanced by a subtle bitterness, with a nutty essence that hints at chestnuts and a rich profile similar to maple syrup. Chestnut honey is known for its variability in taste, changing slightly with each harvest depending on the region and season. This makes every batch a unique experience, perfect for those who appreciate the depth and complexity of a truly raw honey.
Colour
This honey has a deep, dark brown colour with warm, reddish undertones that catch the light beautifully. Over time, as it naturally crystallises, it may transform to a softer caramel colour, showcasing the honey’s authenticity and raw nature.
Where Does It Come From?
Antonio’s chestnut honey is collected from sweet chestnut trees in the mountainous regions around Burgos in northern-central Spain. The sweet chestnut tree, also known as Castano in Spanish, is a large, deciduous tree that produces edible nuts and fragrant blossoms, providing bees with an abundant source of nectar and sap. This wild, remote environment supports a rich biodiversity, contributing to the pure, unaltered character of Antonio’s honey.
More About Antonio and His Beekeeping Heritage
Antonio Simone is a fourth-generation beekeeper with a deep-rooted respect for tradition and nature. His bees are primarily based in the pristine mountains north of Madrid, where he practises sustainable beekeeping methods. Antonio’s approach is simple: allow the bees to thrive in their natural habitat and harvest honey as purely and respectfully as possible, ensuring it remains raw, unpasteurised, and packed with natural goodness.
Common Uses
- Desserts: Drizzle over cakes, cookies, and ice creams for a unique depth of sweetness.
- Warm Beverages: Stir into tea or hot water for a soothing, flavourful drink.
- Salads and Meat Glazes: Adds a hint of sweetness and complexity to dressings and glazes.
- Cheese Pairing: Perfectly complements cheeses, enhancing the flavours of hard or soft varieties with its malty, nutty notes.
Storage
To preserve the natural potency and unique qualities of this honey, store it in a cool, dark place. Exposure to light and heat can degrade the beneficial enzymes that contribute to its antibacterial activity. Keeping it away from light and high temperatures will help maintain its rich flavour, texture, and active properties, ensuring it remains as nature intended.
How Raw Honey is Different from Processed Honey
Raw honey is minimally processed, meaning it’s packed with natural enzymes, pollen, and nutrients that are often lost during processing. Most supermarket honeys are processed to create a uniform appearance, often being drained of pollen, heated, and blended. Raw honey changes in flavour, colour, and texture depending on the season and the flowers that bees feed on, making each batch unique.
Crystallisation in Raw Honey
Raw honey tends to crystallise over time due to its natural glucose content. This is a natural process and does not affect the quality of the honey. For more information on why honey crystallises, visit our Runny Honey Guide or check Wikipedia’s phase transitions in honey.

We will resolve this issue by either sending you a new product straight away or refunding your order in full.
If your order is a large tin or tub weighing over 1kg and arrives damaged:-
Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on tins or tubs of over 1kg. If your tub or tin arrives slightly damaged and leaking, we are happy to give you a partial refund on the amount of honey you feel has been lost. Unfortunately, we cannot replace whole tins or tubs unless more than 50% of the honey has been lost. We would then request you send us pictures so that we can assess the damage and agree the replacement.

Our Returns Policy
If there is a problem with your honey - provided no seals have been broken and the product has not been opened (i.e.: it must be in 'new' condition) you can return your honey to us up to 35 days after you have made your order. Excluding sale items which are sold as per the description and cannot be returned.
We will process your refund within 14 days of having received the returned good(s) or proof of having returned the goods (for example, a proof of postage receipt from the post office), You will be refunded for the full cost of the product(s) as well as any original shipping fees paid.
If you are returning part of a larger order, you may only be refunded a portion of any shipping fees paid.
Please note we cannot issue refunds or replacements for honey because it has crystallised.
We indicate on the website the state of each honey - either runny or crystallised but this information is based on the best of our knowledge and the state can change quickly – particularly in the colder months of the year. The crystallisation process is completely natural (even processed honey will crystallise eventually). If we have indicated that the state is runny and it is crystallised when you receive it - this simply means that it has crystallised quicker than we expected, which can happen. It does not indicate that there is a problem with the honey and therefore is not covered by our returns policy.
Please note that refunds on items bought as gifts can only be issued to the original purchaser.
The Raw Honey Shop reserves the right to apply and interpret this extended returns policy as it decides is most appropriate.
Consumer Contracts Regulations
If you have purchased our products online or over the phone, you will be covered by the statutory Consumer Contracts Regulations.
Consumer Contracts Regulations do not apply to perishable items (eg: fresh royal jelly and fresh bee pollen) or goods with a seal for health protection and hygiene reasons that's been broken.
If the item(s) you receive is somehow faulty or otherwise not as described, your right to return your item(s) is covered under the Consumer Rights Act 2015.
