About the Chestnut Tree

The chestnut tree (Castanea sativa) is a majestic species belonging to the Fagaceae family. Native to Southern Europe and Asia Minor, it thrives in deep, well-drained soils, especially in mountainous regions. Recognizable by its deciduous foliage and sturdy trunk, it produces long catkin flowers in the summer, rich in nectar, which attract bees and yield a honey with a strong flavor. Its fruit, the chestnut, is a valuable source of nutrients and a symbol of forest terroir.
