Italian Chestnuts

Chestnuts have been grown for generations in the beautiful mountains of Campania, Italy, where in early Autumn, and only when nature decides they’re ready, the chestnuts naturally drop from the trees and are collected by the Contadini, the local farmers who use centuries-old methods.

The Fresh Italian chestnut season typically begins in October and reaches its peak in mid-December. The roasting of these flavorful nuts fills the air with the sweet aroma of the holidays, making Christmas truly special.

  • Product of Italy
  • Net Weight: 1 lb

Please note: Although we strive to provide high-quality chestnuts, we cannot be held responsible for any that may have rotted upon opening after cooking. No refunds all sales are final. When cut open, rotten chestnuts usually show a tan-brown discoloration of part or the entire nut kernel.

Chestnuts from Chestnut Heaven!

I'm a former northerner from NJ now living in North Carolina. Since it's the holidays, my 'chestnut taste buds' awakened and I yearned for some good Italian roasted chestnuts. So, I went to the typical local and online suppliers to buy some. What a mistake!!! I opened their packages and found their products were the size of the 'palle on a mosquito' and would be better served as squirrel food...what a disappointment. So, I decided to do a search for some choice castagne and found Piccolo's, the Chestnut Promise Land!!! I ordered 3lbs of Piccolo's large chestnuts and got exactly what I ordered. They were delivered to North Carolina within a few days, were a good size, and tasted as I remembered. I shared them with a few friends who were just as excited as I was and they were gone within a couple of days. So, I just placed my second order but this time it was 4lbs and they just arrived for us to enjoy on Christmas Day if they last that long. Piccolo's is now my Chestnut go-to primo fornitore!!!!!!!

They are great. Mine and my wife’s first time roasting and eating chestnuts. We will be doing more of them tonight with our granddaughter and some friends. An Old tradition, but new to us. We would highly recommend Piccolo’s Gastronomia Italiana!

I would give it a zero if I could. These chestnuts were 90 percent rotten. The store owner is not interested in customer satisfaction and refused to look at the 18 photos that I sent him showing the moldy nuts. He blamed the weather, the post office and everything else he could think of. I spent $50 for 3 pounds. After arguing with him for 2 weeks, he sent me a new order of 2 1/2 pounds, yes, a half pound less, all just as rotten as the first order. This man will get rich, but, he will never get another penny of my money.

Fantastic!

I bought these as a holiday gift for my wife, who is from Japan and she is very particular about her chestnuts. Her exact words: "Awesome! I loved them!". For me, it just doesn't get better than that.
