Candied chestnuts Signature box

Candied chestnuts, known as marrons glacés, are a luxurious delicacy crafted from carefully selected whole chestnuts. Their preparation follows a meticulous process that begins with peeling and blanching, followed by slow candying in sugar syrup over several days. This gentle infusion retains the chestnut’s natural shape and texture while enriching its flavour with sweetness and subtle depth. Finally, the glazed finish gives them a delicate sheen and a melt-in-the-mouth quality.

These festive confections are traditionally enjoyed at Christmas, though their elegance makes them suitable year-round. Served after meals, with tea or coffee, or offered as refined gifts, glacé chestnuts are a true indulgence. Their tender texture and aromatic flavour pair beautifully with chocolate, citrus, or creamy desserts — or can simply be savoured on their own.

To preserve their distinctive taste and texture, candied chestnuts should be stored in a cool, dry place, away from light and moisture. Once opened, it’s best to keep them in an airtight container, ideally enjoyed within a few days for peak flavour. Refrigeration is possible, but avoid freezing, which can alter their delicate consistency.
