Fritelli is a Corsican doughnut or fritter made from fried chestnut flour. A preparation of the fritters is referred to as Fritelli a Gaju Frescu with fresh cheese or Fritelli di Salciccia with sausage.According to an 1880 Scribners monthly account the chestnuts were collected from those that had fallen (and beating the trees to knock them down was discouraged).
