Chestnut flour
Chestnut flour is a traditional and authentic ingredient, particularly appreciated for its sweet and rich flavour, typical of mountain chestnuts.
It is a naturally gluten-free flour, with an amber color and an enveloping flavour, perfect for giving a rustic and genuine touch to recipes.
Uses of chestnut flour
Chestnut flour is extremely versatile in the kitchen, suitable for both sweet and savory dishes:
Traditional desserts: with it, soft cakes, tarts, rustic biscuits and the famous castagnaccio are prepared, a simple dessert but rich in flavour.
Bread and focaccia: bread with chestnut flour has a unique consistency, slightly sweet and suitable for accompanying both cheeses and cured meats.
Pasta and gnocchi: for original dishes such as chestnut gnocchi, or tagliatelle and ravioli, which acquire an unmistakable flavour.
Soups and polenta: chestnut flour is also used to make autumn soups creamier and to create a chestnut polenta with a sweet and enveloping flavour.
Ideal for those who love traditions and authentic cuisine, chestnut flour enhances autumn and winter recipes with rich, warm flavours, transporting those who enjoy it directly into the atmosphere of woods and mountains.
