They can also be toasted (so-called &#8220;infornatelle&#8221;) and stored throughout the winter.<\/p>\n<p>The production area is included in the mountain territories of the municipalities of Balsorano, Canistro, Capistrello, Castellafiume, Civita d&#8217;Antino, Civitella Roveto, Morino and San Vincenzo Valle Roveto, all located in the <strong>province of L&#8217;Aquila<\/strong>, Abruzzo.<\/p>\n<p>The<strong>Roveto Valley Chestnut Farmers Association<\/strong> was established a few years ago, with the aim of enhancing the product, through the recovery of abandoned chestnut areas, to the improvement of existing production areas and to give technical information to companies through cultural and scientific activities.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/conoscere.abruzzoturismo.it\/news.php?IDNews=3023\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">abruzzoturismo.it <\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Roscetta della Valle Roveto chestnut is a variety of chestnut that is among the traditional products of Abruzzo.
