However, with this CTT and Dott partnership, the Chestnut Fair will have a new format but maintaining the event’s identity, the cultural essence and the promotion of its products, producers and the brand Sernancelhe Terra da Castanha.

The project Mercado Terra da Castanha is a partnership between CTT and the Dott platform, the major online shopping in Portugal, and will boost chestnut sales. It will run as of October 23^rd, but there are pre-sales as of October 19^th in https://dott.pt/pt/campaign/festa-da-castanha-sernancelhe.

With no physical event, Terra da Castanha will bring its excellent product to all Portuguese people with safety, quality and also some surprises. The Terra da Castanha boxes have more than just high quality chestnuts.
