What is Chestnut Honey?
The most distinctively flavored member of the flower honey family, chestnut honey is one of the most special honeys grown in Turkey.
Production begins at the beginning of summer, when the chestnut trees bloom. In our country, it is mostly found in places where chestnut forests are dense in the Black Sea, Aegean, Marmara and Mediterranean regions.
Chestnut honey has a very different and important place from other types of honey in terms of its benefits and nutritional value.

Properties of Chestnut Honey
Chestnut trees, which begin to bloom in the first months of summer, between June and July, are a delicious food source for worker bees. Worker bees enter an intense working period when flowers begin to bloom. While honey bees feed themselves with the pollen, nectar and secretions they collect, they also provide pollination. Chestnut honey has different physical properties than other types of honey and can be distinguished by eye. We can briefly talk about its general physical characteristics as follows. It has a distinct aroma that combines sweet, bitter and astringent tastes, and when eaten, the chestnut taste is felt intensely. Chestnut honey is dark brown in color and has a dense consistency. It has a high viscosity value because it is a heavy fluid honey with a dense consistency. Its pH value is higher than flower honey. It crystallizes later than other honeys. Since the fructose rate is higher than the glucose rate, crystallization is slower. The granules formed as a result of crystallization have a fine structure and can be easily restored using the bain-marie method. It contains twice as much iron as flower honey. It is one of the honeys with the highest vitamin value, with the vitamins B and C it contains. Other popular names for chestnut honey are bitter honey or crazy honey. The price of chestnut honey varies depending on whether it meets the features mentioned above, whether the production has passed the quality control stages and whether it meets organic production principles. Honey that we are sure meets all these criteria is considered genuine chestnut honey. We can safely choose honey that has received an organic agriculture certificate and whose analysis reports we can see. Our Eğriçayır organic chestnut honey product is produced in the chestnut forests of the Karedeniz region by our contracted beekeepers and is certified organic. It is filtered in its purest form without undergoing any heat treatment or pasteurization processes and reaches your table from honey jars.

egricayir honey is the best and when I say that, know it is coming from someone who has had tested/tried out hundreds of other honeys, types and flavors to include several Manuka Honey’s from New Zealand and Australia. This brand’s Chesnut and Pine Honeys are at the top of the Honey pyramid! Love the taste and flavor! Kudos to Grand Turkish Bazaar for shipping them in sealed plastic bags and I get them here shipped in days! 5 stars!
