Giannetti Artisans Italian Chestnut Flour - Stone Chamber Roasted Chestnuts - (2-pack of 1lb bags) - 2024 Batch

We have been ordering Giannetti Artisans Italian Chestnut Flour to bake Castagnaccio cakes for Christmas for many years. The flour is always very fresh with intense flavor, sweetness, and of excellent quality. The product is well packaged and shipped on schedule. We are very satisfied with this product and will continue to order it in the future.

Although the product is quite expensive (my only reason for a 4 star rating), it is very good and fresh.

The first time I opened it (first time getting this brand), I thought "yew, what's up with this smell?". I was pretty disappointed at first because it seemed to taste kind of smoky and really strong to my taste.It is indeed much stronger than any chestnut flour I've got in the past... but I learned how to adapt the quantity of chestnut flour vs. other flours and now I do think it is actually MUCH better!!! It is so flavorful that I can taste chestnut with only 10gr of this flour for 300gr of gluten-free flour (mix of white and brown rice flour, tapioca and potato starch).So what seemed to be a pricey flour with ok taste turned out to be a flour with a rich flavor at a very good price (considering than ~2-3% of this flour is enough). Will definitely buy the same brand next time!

Incredible flavour. Fresh, sweet and with a gentle smokiness from the chestnuts being dried in a wood-fired oven. No need to add sugar to anything traditional made with this. Also, it's light, so you get a lot per pound.

I've been buying this chestnut flour for a few years now; quality is excellent, and I love using it for my seasonal castagnaccio's. But this year's batch (nov 2019) is even better than usual (in the end, it all depends on how good the year was for the chestnuts!). Highly recommended.

The sweet, nutty flavor of the chestnut flour was the perfect basis for fresh tagliatelle with sausage, mushrooms, chard, and chopped roasted chestnuts.

Title says it all.
