Castagnaccio is an Italian chestnut flour cake, a typically autumnal dessert made from a dough of chestnut, water, olive oil, pine nuts, and raisins, and baked. Local variations may include other ingredients such as rosemary, orange rind, fennel seeds, and other dried fruit, and it remains a rural dessert of the Apennine area where chestnuts were once a staple food.
