Fresh Florentine chestnuts (1kg)

La Fenice's Fresh Florentine Chestnuts (1kg) are hand-harvested between October and November in our chestnut grove in Vicchio del Mugello, Tuscany. These are Mugello PGI Chestnuts, a prized variety recognized by the European Union for its exceptional culinary quality: large fruits, sweet and starchy flesh, and a peel that comes off easily after cooking.

Unlike common chestnuts, the Florentine Chestnut is distinguished by its elongated shape, shiny striped surface, and the absence of an internal septum dividing the flesh. It is the noblest fruit of the Tuscan chestnut tree, grown using organic methods that respect the forest's biodiversity.

Versatile and seasonal, the Fresh Chestnut is ideal for boiling, roasting over an open flame (classic roasted chestnuts), using in soups and risottos, or processing into artisanal creams and marrons glacés. By purchasing directly from the producer, you ensure maximum freshness and arrival within a few days of harvest.
