Flamigni Marron Glace, 160g

Flamigni marron glacés are a wonderful festive treat. They’re glossy on the outside with a sweet, squidgy centre. Enjoy them on their own or serve with ice cream.

The chestnuts are sourced from Campania in southern Italy. They are prepared by hand and steam-peeled to preserve their flavour. Flamigni uses a traditional candying process to give them their signature sweetness.

Marron glacés have a rich nutty flavour with a hint of vanilla. In France and Italy, they are an essential part of any festive feast. The candied chestnuts are a lovely gift or stocking filler.

Serve marron glacés with coffee and liqueurs after dinner. They’re delicious with Chantilly cream or chopped to decorate cakes and sundaes. You can also use them to make Mont Blanc, a French dessert with baked meringue, cream and sweet chestnut purée.

Store in a cool dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.

About Flamigni

Flamigni started in 1930 as a pastry and coffee shop in Forli, in the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy. Three brothers, Armando, Lieto and Aurelio Flamigni saw great success with their traditional Italian pastries. In the 1970s, the son-in-law of one of the Flamigni brothers encouraged the company to try their hand at other Italian specialties. Armed with their expertise in cakes and pastries, Flamigni developed their range of nougat, panettones and other confectionery.

Flamigni try to use traditional recipes, equipment and techniques wherever possible. They use one of the first marron glace recipes ever recorded, they make their nougat in traditional copper pots, and their biscuits are made using traditional methods that have been handed down through generations. In this way they hope to preserve Italy's confectionery-making heritage for future generations to enjoy.

Ingredients: Chestnuts, sugar, glucose-fructose syrup, natural vanilla flavouring.
