MARRON Oficina da Castanha is the first
location in the country specialising in
chestnuts and their derivatives. The centre
opened its doors on 8 March 2019, at Rua
Combatentes da Grande Guerra, in the heart
of historic Bragança, including a grocery
shop offering a wide range of chestnut-based
products.
It also organises visits to a small museum
on the lower floor where it is possible to
learn more about how chestnuts are grown
and processed, either through various
information panels or via interactive contents
displayed on a touchscreen. A visit to this
interpretive centre also allows you to discover
an unprecedented collection of chestnut
roasters and includes a tasting of chestnut
liqueurs and sweets.
In addition to the grocery shop and museum,
Marron also provides a 30-seat cafeteriabar
where you can enjoy various sweet and
savoury dishes made with chestnuts.
This venue was conceived in Terra Fria
Transmontana, the largest chestnutproducing
region in Portugal and one of the
most important in Europe, with the aim of
promoting a variety of chestnut consumption
throughout the year.
