The chestnut crop out of Italy has been doing very well this season as a cold winter set up good volume and quality, however dry conditions during summer meant sizing has been a bit off. The season began in early October and will imports into the US will continue into the New Year.
"We've imported chestnuts from Italy since the first week of October," said Michael Maxwell, of Procacci Brothers in Pennsylvania. "This season has been great for quality. Europe had a cold winter and this allowed the trees to have many dormant hours. Therefore, they were in a healthy condition coming into the season. Additionally, the cold winter diminished the number of wasps that have been affecting the crop the last few years. This allowed the trees to produce a good quantity of chestnuts. Sizing has been a bit off due to a dry summer, but overall the mass is there. Volume is definitely up over last year."
