Artisanal Chestnut Bica

Artisanal Chestnut Bica - 300gr

The chestnut bica is a special version of one of the most traditional desserts from Galicia, especially popular in the province of Ourense. Its texture is reminiscent of a sponge cake, but with a denser, juicier, and more substantial consistency, which sets it apart from lighter sweets.

This bica is handcrafted using a blend of chestnut flour and wheat flour. The chestnut flour gives it a sweet, mild, and slightly smoky flavor, very characteristic of this fruit closely linked to Galician tradition.

The result is a balanced sweet with a firm crumb and a very pleasant taste, perfect to enjoy at breakfast, snack time, or as a dessert after a meal. It pairs especially well with coffee, milk, infusions, hot chocolate, or even with coffee liqueur during a special after-meal gathering.
