Truffles and Chestnuts, the Delicacies of the Turano Valley

It seems that the truffle, a precious tuber, has become a real attraction for the refined palates of the area, so much so as to enrich dishes based on natural products with the full approval of the chefs from the Turano area. On the “menu” of the various restaurants in the valley, here come the “trout fillets with black truffle,” a combination of fish and local products that delights gourmets. Not to be missed are the “organic durum wheat tonnarelli with pecorino cheese, pepper, and white truffle,” a true triumph for those who love typical and organic food. It seems that the “fried egg with vegetables in oil and black truffle” is among the finest dishes along with the “veal roast with truffle,” a classic always favored by meat enthusiasts. To conclude, as Italian tradition dictates, here is a “semifreddo with dog rose flowers and white truffle.”
And if the truffle tickles the most refined palates, for those who love simple products, the chestnut is suggested, which in the Valle del Turano represents an ingredient suitable for all occasions, so much so as to suggest a menu composed of “legume and chestnut soups,” “chestnut risotto,” or “chestnut ravioli.”
There is also room for the “home cooking challenge.” The numerous organic farms dotting the territory of the Valle del Turano actually market, with various solutions, not only truffles and chestnuts but also other typical products from the area. All at “zero kilometers,” meaning from the same area and under the brand “Strada del Tartufo e della Castagna della Valle del Turano,” a symbol of quality and the same enhancement and production techniques by the same adhering companies. A great step forward for promoting healthy eating and good living.
