It was around the 6th century before JC that the culture of the chestnut is born. It is with Théophraste in the 4th century BC that the fruit is clearly cited and sometimes called 'Zeus glans'. Culture develops in the Middle Ages until the 15th century when sharecropper contracts are constantly mentioning it. On the taste side, to break the softness of the chestnut, nothing better than the acidity that will allow it to be sublied.
