The priest’s chestnuts are roasted and soft, ready to eat! It is a typical product of the High Irpinia that tradition attributes its recipe to the gastronomic skills of the Irpini priests.
Thanks to a process of strictly artisanal production, the product acquires a unique and unmistakable taste.
After the harvest in October, the production process consists of three main stages: drying, roasting and bathing.
The drying takes place in old rooms called "gratali" heated for more than ten days by the fire produced by burning chestnut wood. This phase reduces the water content of chestnuts and gives the product a characteristic smoke aroma.
The roasting takes place in special ovens, where thanks to the browning of the sugars present in the chestnut, a further organoleptic characterization of the product is obtained.
The bath is the final stage, also called hydration. Chestnuts are sprayed with water for about seven days, twice a day. At the end of this ancient and laborious process you get these soft, sweet and tasty chestnuts of the priest, ready to eat!
