Just some insight on Giannetti Artisans Tuscan Chestnut Flour: One of the fall fruits that characterize the Garfagnana area is the chestnut. Chestnuts in Garfagnana are picked at the beginning of October, they are then dried inside a stone structure that is called “metato” and are left to “rest” on top of an ember that generates constant heat for 1 month. Once the chestnuts are dried and the external shell is cleaned, they are brought to a stone mill and transformed into excellent Chestnut Flour. Chestnuts from this area and this kind of workmanship will make the difference in quality of the chestnut flour and taste! Buon Appetito!
