Chestnut Honey is harvested from the wild chestnut forests that thrive at high altitudes in the mountains of Arcadia and Achaia, in the Peloponnese. It is produced from both the nectar and the honeydew secretions of the blossoms and leaves of the wild chestnut tree, resulting in a honey of remarkable complexity and character.
