Broken Marrons Glacés

La Fenice's Broken Marrons Glacés are one of the finest delicacies in European confectionery tradition, reinterpreted using organic chestnuts from the Tuscan Mugello region. Handcrafted in our workshop, they are the perfect choice for those who love authentic taste without compromising on quality.

The production process for marrons glacés is long and meticulous: the whole chestnuts are first peeled by hand, then immersed in sugar syrups of increasing concentration for several days, so that the fruit gradually absorbs the sweetness while preserving its structure and natural aroma. Only the largest, flawless chestnuts are selected for this process.

The result is a naturally gluten-free product with a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture and a delicate sweetness that enhances the chestnut's woody, earthy notes. Compared to industrial marrons glacés, La Fenice's artisanal versions retain natural irregularities and flavor nuances impossible to replicate with automated processes.

The "broken" format is ideal for culinary use: perfect for garnishing semifreddos, cakes, and chocolate mousses, for enriching artisanal gelato, or for preparing a classic Mont Blanc. They are also perfect as a moment of pure sweetness, enjoyed with a cup of tea or a small glass of chestnut liqueur.

They make a sophisticated and surprising gift—a symbol of the region and fine craftsmanship. Every bite tells the story of a forest, of a harvest, and of hands working with care. Organic, gluten-free, 100% Tuscan.
