“…more seasonal than that!“
We have two fabulous ingredients: fresh Casentino chestnuts and Black uncinatum Truffle of Villa Magna farm, cheers to the short distribution chain! It is a simple and also very fast recipe, if it were not to boil and peel the chestnuts…but we want to compare them with those pre-cooked? Absolutely not…
