San Quirico Sagra del Neccio

Sagra del Neccio - Festival of the Chestnut pancake San Quirico Valleriana Tuscany

posted from March due to constant raining [what an odd year we have had with the weather!]
New DATES:

Sagra del Neccio - Festival of the Chestnut pancake San Quirico Valleriana Tuscany

Neccio is a pancake made from locally harvested chestnuts ground into flour.  They are cooked between either hot iron plates or hot stones. [And this requires an article all to itself.  Give me time.. this is a brand new site!]

     They are normally served with your choice of ricotta cheese or Nutella and are delicious.
The festival [sagra] starts at 2 p.m., but note there are two other optional things to do either of these two Sundays, coordinated with the festival, Sunday, 11 March and Sunday 18 March, 2018.

This is the 50th year!  Whoa.  In the main piazza of San Quirico,, you guessed it:  in Valleriana!
