Chestnut was known by the Romans with the Latin name Castanea Sativa.

It possibly derives from the Greek Kastana, which was the name of an antique city of  lower Asia in whose nearby abounded this tree; Sativa, from the Latin “what is cultivated or planted”.

The Romans considered that the chestnut was a basic source of energy to nourish their troops throughout the empire. So it was probably them who introduced it to many rare or inhibited areas.

The chestnut: our protagonist

The chestnut is a tree that has been traditionally identified with the culture, the customs, the economy and the religion of the villages.

It is appreciated for its fruit as much as its wood, very adequate for construction, agriculture, industry and even art.

Its quality and tradition have converted it into the unquestionable protagonist of our activity.

Tradition: our long experience passed on from generation to generation

Since 1910 working with this wood we know its colour, its  veins and its peculiarities that make it unique.
