Curiosity

Remember when, during your childhood, you would see your grandparents enjoying dried chestnuts in front of a warm hearth? It is no coincidence that some people call them “grandparents' candies.” As experts, we have selected Italian Dried Marron Chestnuts to let you enjoy the authentic taste of those precious moments again. We recommend boiling them 20 minutes in boiling water to regain all their pleasant softness.

Do you know the difference between “chestnuts” and “marron chestnuts”? Chestnuts: the term ‘’chestnut‘’ encompasses numerous varieties derived from the European chestnut tree, widespread in the different chestnut-growing areas of Italy. Their colour is dark brown while their shape is more elongated. Chestnuts have an inner skin that penetrates deep into the pulp, in some cases to the point of splitting it (in which case they are referred to as split fruits), which often makes them difficult to peel.

From a marketing point of view, actual chestnuts are smaller in size and generally cheaper than marron chestnuts, compared to which they are less valued. The size varies from 45 to 100 fruits per kg. Marron chestnuts are the most sought-after variety on the market. Chestnuts are considered ‘marrons’ if they are not split, have a more 'rounded' shape, a light brown, slightly streaked skin and a sweeter, more fragrant taste than chestnuts. Among the main characteristics of marron chestnuts is the fact that the episperm (i.e. the skin of the fruit) does not penetrate the flesh and this makes them easier to peel. They ripen towards the end of September.

History

It is assumed that the chestnut plant originated in China. Two migration routes would then have developed from this tree antecedent: one towards Europe, which would have given rise to the current species Castanea sativa, and one towards America, from which the Asian species would derive. These include the Castanea crenata and Castanea mollissima cultivated in China, Japan and Korea, as well as the Castanea dentata cultivated in America. The European chestnut (scientifically known as Castanea sativa) belongs to the genus Castanea and to the Fagaceae Family. Castanea sativa is a very long-living plant, which can reach and pass even 10 centuries of age. It generally does not grow in isolation but forms extensive associations called chestnut groves. The European chestnut tree is healthiest, most productive and durable variety when it grows in optimal conditions, i.e., in temperate, quite humid areas, well-exposed to the sun, with deep soils without water stagnation.
