Marroni Del Monfenera | Local Chestnuts From Province of Treviso, Italy | TasteAtlas

Marroni del Monfenera

Traditionally grown in the Veneto's province of Treviso for centuries, Marroni del Monfenera refers to the chestnut variety characterized by their straw yellow to hazelnut-brown floury flesh and a very sweet flavor.


For a simple treat, Monfenera chestnuts are excellent as Caldarroste - roasted and typically flavored with wine wine, but can also be used in preparing many different recipes, from first courses to desserts. When boiled and mashed, they are an ideal ingredient for making cakes and biscuits or even puddings and soufflés.
