From the Apennines to the Andes, everything you can do with chestnuts

Bread, pasta and confectionery: here we join the Slow Food chestnut growers’ network to discover chestnut flour recipes and all the ancient wisdom and manual skills of the Alps and the Apennines.

The Tambopata community in Peru, on the other hand, is home to the castaña amazónica, an ingredient in aji de castañas sauce and a delicious milky beverage.

Speakers:

• Francesca Litta, chef, vice president Local Action Group Terre di PRE.GIO, trustee Condotta Territori del Cesanese.
• Wilma Ninon Diaz, part of the Slow Food Tambopata community in the Peruvian Amazon. Wilma practices organic and agroforestry farming and has 25 years of experience in the Peruvian Amazon.
• Maria Jesus Gosalvez, part of the SLOW Food Tambopata community in the Peruvian Amazon. Maria Jesus is involved in education for the protection of biodiversity foods and healthy eating with emphasis in regional Madre de Dios products. She also processes Amazonian walnut into flour and oil.
