Montemonaco food: what to try
Local cooking is based on the products of the area, and the chestnut is the best-known symbol. Every year the woods around Montemonaco give a harvest that becomes sweets, soups, farinata (a chestnut-flour dish) and even craft beer. Montemonaco marroni (large chestnuts) are described as hearty, strongly aromatic and sweet-tasting, and easy to peel.
During the festival, the streets of the village fill with food stalls. Chestnut-based sweets include castagnaccio (chestnut cake), tronchetto, fried ravioli and chestnut skewers, served with roasted chestnuts and mulled wine. The stalls also sell fresh chestnuts, Sibillini honey, truffles, mountain potatoes, heirloom apples, walnuts and hazelnuts.
