Food specialties and delicacies

Honey, thanks to its sweet flavor and properties, is a versatile ingredient in the kitchen, suitable for both sweet and savory dishes. It can be used to make sauces, glaze meat and fish, flavor desserts, and accompany cheeses. Acacia honey, for example, is excellent for sweetening hot drinks or spreading it on bread and toast, while chestnut honey, with its more bold flavor, pairs well with aged cheeses and red meats.
