Bracalla chestnuts from Valle Varaita. Our exclusive for you!

The scent of chestnuts begins to fill the streets and alleys of our towns and cities.
The quintessential autumn delight that anticipates winter and bids farewell to summer. A fruit that, more than any other, tells the story of transition, a change.

Have you ever been to Valle Varaita? Maybe not because it is still outside the major tourist circuits of Piedmont. Yet it is beautiful and is also home to some of the best typical Piedmontese products! It gently rises and climbs towards the base of the great pointed mountain. Monviso. Here, fruit trees grow—apple, pear, peach, and kiwi. Then, as you ascend, they turn into hillside plants like chestnuts, hazels, walnuts, etc... all along the course of the Varaita stream, where the water is still full of life and crystalline in its purity.  

Here, some young producers have their beautiful farm nestled among the stones of ancient mountain villages. It seems that time has stood still, and from the high meadow before the forest, the great chestnut stands solitary and solemn, anticipating the others scattered among the firs and hazels. A natural monument to life that has sustained ancient chestnuts for centuries, still shaping the tables of these people. They are of the quality Bracalla, sweet, flavorful, with an ancient taste and fragrant. A delight that can be enjoyed as roasted chestnuts or boiled. Its flour is also delicious for creamy sweets and extraordinary castagnacci.
