Piedmontese Castagnaccio

Piedmontese castagnaccio is a traditional sweet that encapsulates the essence of the autumn flavours of Piedmont. 

Prepared with chestnut flour, this rustic dessert is characterised by a moist and soft texture, which melts in the mouth and gives a naturally sweet, enveloping taste. 

Typically enriched with ingredients such as walnuts, sultanas and rosemary, castagnaccio is characterised by its heady scent and intense flavour, evoking peasant traditions and mountain landscapes.

Served warm or at room temperature, it is perfect to enjoy at the end of a meal, perhaps accompanied by some whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.

This dessert is not just a simple dessert, but a real journey into the heart of Piedmontese gastronomic culture, capable of warming the palate and the heart, making it ideal for cool days and special occasions.
