    A machine for finding small delicacies...

    Today, as in previous years, collecting pine cones is an important economic activity in the region, an ancient craft that still preserves its personality and traditional tools

    The device shown here is a pine cone peeler. This machine, no longer used today, broke open the pine cones and freed the pine nuts. It was used in June, just before the summer heat could open the pine cones.

    The motor moved the system of belts and pulleys, the mill ground the pine cones, and the nuts entered a rotating drum where the pine nuts were classified by size. 1000

    From December to April, teams of workers can be seen collecting pine cones while moving their Loring poles back and forth between the pines. However, the pine cones are no longer peeled on site; They are carried to the surrounding towns, where the little delicacies hidden inside can be won.
