Honey is not just honey. Its variety and tasteranges have convinced honeylfans for a long time. Our chestnut honey is one of the extraordinary specialties. Thanks to its characteristic taste, it’s the ideal accompaniment to cheese and finds its preferred use in hearty cuisine.
Together with the cheese factory Champignon we have developed two special recipes in which honey and cheese play the main roles. Try it and be surprised by the interplay of sweet and salty components.

Knead flour, butter in pieces, egg and 1 pinch of salt until smooth. Wrap dough in foil and chill for about 1 hour. Coarsely chop walnuts and roast them in a pan without fat until golden brown.

Knead the dough again and place it on a floured work surface to form a circle (approx. 26 cm Ø). Grease a tart mould (approx. 26 cm Ø) and dust with flour. Place the dough in the mould, press it lightly and cut off the excess edge. Wash the thyme and shake dry. Pluck the leaves from the stalks, except for a few for garnishing. Crumble 50 g Montagnolo. Cut 300 g of Montagnolo into slices. Mix the crumbled Montagnolo, mustard and thyme leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Spread the cheese mixture on the pastry base.
Wash the pears, halve, core and cut into slices. Wash, clean and slice the figs. First place the pear slices on the outside of the dough. Arrange the fig slices, Montagnolo slices and Serrano ham overlapping in the middle. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with 2 tablespoons of Breitsamer honey. Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 180 °C/ convection oven: 155 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for about 25 minutes. Take the tart out of the oven and arrange.
