Santa Maria Organic Chestnut Honey

The main objective of MSM - Mel Santa Maria is the production of high-quality honey. We want the consumer to feel nature in every jar of our honey. Currently, the entire MSM - Mel Santa Maria bee colony is organically produced. The control of the apiaries, the production method, and the treatments carried out on the bee colonies are controlled by a Portuguese certifying entity.

We assume responsibility for the preservation of both the ecosystem, through the location of our apiaries, and the environment. We use products approved for organic production in the treatment of the bee colonies that are part of our beekeeping operation.

MSM - Mel Santa Maria's Chestnut Honey is produced in the mountainous areas of the Valpaços municipality, characterized by extensive chestnut plantations. It is a very nutritious honey, highly appreciated for its mineral content. It is a unique honey with a distinct flavor from others. In 2018, this honey received the gold medal in the Chestnut Honey category for organic production at the 9th Honey Competition in Portugal.
