Mushrooms and chestnuts on the table

Along Elba Island’s 147 km of coastline are “recipes obtained from wild herbs, wild aromas, legumes, chestnuts and mushrooms gathered in the fields and woods to the numerous fish dishes. All a result of the natural characteristics of this territory as well as local customs, not to mention the influence on Elban gastronomic traditions of the invasions the island has witnessed.”
Edimedia (2004) Pronto Elba pag 34.Chestnuts and wine are a combination to which must be added the mushroom, the unforgettable fruit of the season. In different areas of the island, in the autumn period among the holm oak forests, there are more than 200 species of mushrooms, among which the most sought-after and appreciated are certainly the porcino and the ovum.
