Capranica Prenestina. Festival of Mosciarella

The festival of 'mosciarella' is an opportunity to sample the main product of Capranica Prenestina and to see the traditional working methods to dry the chestnuts.

The drying is carried out in lodges at two levels in the forest: the first level a weak fire is lit whose heat rises into the racks of chestnut upstairs.

The process lasts about two days and the chestnuts are then peeled by beating at the end of drying.
