Description
This flour is made from Italian grown organic chestnuts which have been dried in the traditional Italian way using very low heat over many days. Drying nuts in-shell imparts a nutty roasted chestnut flavour and makes the nuts sweet and delicious. The dried nuts are then peeled and milled to produce a fine flour that is full of flavour. Chestnut flour is gluten free and thanks to Susan’s Sumptuous Suppers here’s a link to her delicious chestnut pancakes. The pancakes are stacked and then drizzled with Chocolate Truffle Ganache and served with vanilla ice cream – who said gluten free food was boring??

This flour is amazing! I used it to make a classic Northern Italian Castagnaccio Chestnut cake as found in Antonio Carluccio’s The Collection and River Cottage Light & Easy and its perfect for Vegans, Vegetarians as its Gluten free, dairy free and egg free. I also have a recipe for Gnocci that i want to try using it, I cant wait.

I’ve made the lightest and most delicious banana muffins with this flour and will be using it for pancakes and other baking. Perfect for gluten intolerance and so tasty.
