Manziana. Chestnut

Traditionally, chestnuts of Manziana were an essential product of the diet.

They were dried and stored for subsequent slow cooking. They were added to vegetable soups, milk soup or cooked with pig's trotters or pork rinds.

Ground into flour, they became an ingredient in bread, pasta and desserts.

The waste is fed to breeding domesticated animals such as pigs, chickens and cattle.
