Italian Gluten Free Chestnut Flour, 500 grams

Castagnaccio is a typical chestnut pie from Italy. It used to be a humble pie for the poor people, as chestnuts were available for free to anybody willing to pick them in national forests in Italy. I used this Sanniti chestnut flour to make a delicious castagnaccio for Thanksgiving. Everybody liked it very much. I can say I have seen no issue with the package (no leaks) and the flour is first quality. The price is definitely not cheap but given the low shipping volumes and the quality of the imported flour, a high cost is somehow understandable. Recommended, as long as you know how to make good use of the flour. You can see in the attached picture the two chestnut pies I made out of one 500 g package.

Used to make maroni cake! Tastes great.

The flour is good for baking bread - I have bought it and used it before. This time it was shipped inside of a small cardboard box and the flour spilled out inside of the bag. Somehow the glassine bag, the original bag from the Italian mill? is not strong enough to keep the flour inside. Not sure if it ripped or if the seal isn't good, however no returns are accepted on this item. Buyer beware.

Chestnut is a tree nut I would not recommend Chestnut to anyone who is allergic to tree nuts.

So happy to finally find some chestnut flour! A lot of French south west (and Corsica!) cakes are made with this! Great for bread too!!!

I make Pierre Herme's chestnut cake every xmas. Couldn't do it without this.

Good quality. Arrived in time and well packaged.

Excellent chestnut flour. Made a Chestnut cake…it was delicious!
