Chestnuts Fresh min 500g

Chestnuts Fresh min 500g are the taste of the season — plump, glossy shells giving way to starchy, sweet, nutty flesh that's unlike any other nut in the kitchen. A true autumn and winter treat.

Look for firm, shiny shells with no mould or soft spots. Fresh chestnuts are highly seasonal, available from autumn into early winter. Store in the fridge in a paper bag and use within a week — they dry out quickly at room temperature.

Score and roast over an open flame or in the oven, peel and fold into a stuffing for chicken or turkey, simmer into a soup or chestnut puree, or use in a classic Mont Blanc dessert.
