The history of the Bagnone valley is one dotted with events, traditions, images of a rural life when entire families went to the woods to harvest chestnuts. For this reason the chestnut (given the high nutritional value of the fruit) is considered "the bread tree ”. Roasted chestnuts, boiled chestnuts, as well as its sweet flour constituted the precious daily food of locals of modest means. Our family business has continued this tradition by expanding over the years. Today, it boasts various departments prepared for the processing of chestnuts ... but we don’t stop there. In fact, the list of delicacies artfully prepared by the Malatesta family continues with the processing of the Treschietto onion, which has now become very famous. After harvesting it by hand, it is carefully transformed into preserves such as a delicious onion jam (to be enjoyed with cheese or meat), very tasty sweet and sour onions, grilled and in oil, or even oil-preserved with zucchini or peppers. There are also many vegetables that this valley can offer us that are transformed into delicious delicacies. For example, zucchini and sweet peppers in oil, stuffed round peppers in oil or canned pumpkin and chilies (ideal to eat with cheese). Production continues with sweet preserves, ranging from undergrowth products such as wild blueberries, blackberries and raspberries, to fruit preserves such as peaches, apricots, plums and figs. Therefore, if the Bagnone Valley is a land of villages, castles and greenery, we can say that it also, without a doubt, a land of refined gastronomy and genuine products, capable of preserving, over time, the aromas and irresistible goodness of flavors from ancient times.
