Amodeo chestnut honey, amber in color, is characterized by pungent notes of forest and damp earth, has a bitter and sometimes tannic taste and if used as a sweetener could change the flavor of the drink or food to be sweetened.

It is excellent with particularly sweet foods, such as persimmons, bananas, and fiordilatte ice cream, along with medium-aged cheeses and meats in medium-long cooking.

Amodeo Carlo, a pure breeder of Ape Nera Sicula, makes high-quality Sicilian artisan honey. The company, a Slow Food Presidium, protects and safeguards small-scale production of high quality value.
