The Chestnut & Linden Honey produced by Azienda Agricola Bianchi, harvested from hives located mainly in the heart of Mendrisiotto, is a treasure that reflects the authenticity of the Ticino region. This variety of honey is one of the most characteristic expressions of local biodiversity, obtained in accordance with the principles of BioSuisse certified organic farming.

Chestnut and linden trees flower at the same time. In 2026 the linden trees had an exceptional bloom and, being very rich in nectar, they left their mark on our chestnut honey: this year it is lighter than usual, the aromatic notes typical of chestnut are more delicate and are joined by the balsamic notes of linden. Laboratory analyses nonetheless confirmed chestnut as the dominant pollen, at 98%.

Production: our Chestnut & Linden Honey is produced by bees that collect nectar from chestnut and linden trees in full bloom. Processing, following traditional and environmentally friendly methods, preserves all the beneficial properties and distinctive aromas of honey, ensuring a superior quality product that is 100% organic and natural.
