As Americans, we often think of chestnuts as just a holiday treat, but these ancient fruits are so much more than a Christmas cliche. Packed with nutrients, versatile chestnuts bring the ancient world right into modern times in the most sustainable way. In this very special episode, we're headed to a magical historic village called Pratalecchia in the Mugello region of Tuscany, where we meet Fosco Ferri. For centuries, the village has been home to a spectacular chestnut grove. Today, Fosco continues his family's legacy, restoring and preserving the village as he uses the same traditional processes used for countless generations to cultivate and produce chestnuts.Recipes: Anolotti with Chestnut Filling; Castagnaccio; Grape Focaccia
