About the Infusion

Step aside, caramel sauce! We've salted our raw Chestnut Honey, and your ice cream is never going to be the same.

Salting our complex Italian Chestnut honey mellows its edge, creating a brand new flavor that can bee whatever you're in the mood for: salty on Tuesdays and sweet on Saturday night.

Chestnut Honey, the base for this infusion, can be perceived as bitter, but did you know that adding salt to bitter foods (or your over-steeped tea!), makes them more palatable and even brings out the sweet?

Our tongues only detect 5 flavors: bitter, sweet, salty, sour, and umami. When you add salt to something bitter, the sodium ions bind to our salty receptors and inhibit our perception of bitterness, balancing out the flavors. Pretty cool, huh?

Try this salted honey over ice cream, in lattes, or on its own by the spoonful!
