Chestnut flour is a versatile and traditional ingredient with a rich history in Tuscan cuisine. Made from dried chestnuts, it is naturally gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten intolerance or celiac disease.

Chestnut flour is known for its starchy, full-bodied, and fragrant qualities, which make it ideal for various culinary applications.

In Tuscan cuisine, chestnut flour has been a fundamental ingredient in the cucina povera (poor cuisine) of the Tuscan mountains for centuries.

During times of famine and poverty, chestnuts provided a vital source of high-calorie food that could be turned into different preparations.

Chestnut flour was used to make polenta, porridge, bread, cakes, biscuits, fresh pasta, and necci, which are a type of Tuscan crepe.
