Brown Organic Chestnuts 3kg: use in the kitchen

The Marrone BIO is excellent to eat in winter also thanks to its high digestibility and the caloric intake that varies depending on the type of cooking: when raw, the digestibility is lower and the caloric intake is about 150 calories per hectogram; if eaten boiled, it becomes more digestible with fewer calories, about 120 calories per hectogram. Finally, as we know, chestnuts are also delicious when roasted, although their caloric intake increases to about 200 calories per hectogram. 

The Marrone can also be used to create excellent creams and bases for roasts of white meat, providing a more intense touch to your dishes.

Tasting notes

This type of Marrone is very large and flavorful, and it is a pleasure to shell it to appreciate its typical fragrance and aroma.

Brown Organic Chestnuts 3kg: pairings

As roasted chestnuts are delicious when paired with young wines, preferably if they are novel wines or slightly sparkling to cleanse the palate. Classic examples among Italian wines are Lambrusco, Sangue di Giuda, Barbera del Monferrato, and Bonarda.

How to store Brown Organic Chestnuts 3kg At its best

There are several methods for preserving chestnuts, whether raw or cooked.

Raw chestnuts: preservation
In the case of raw chestnuts, they should be cleaned of any sediment on the shell, dried, and then stored in bags in the freezer where they can be kept for up to a year. If you plan to roast them, it's advisable to make the cut beforehand.
They can also be preserved in the refrigerator (for a maximum of 6 months) after a procedure called Novena or under sand for a maximum of 2 months.

Cooked chestnuts: preservation
Again, the longest and most reliable preservation method is the freezer. Once cooked, the chestnuts should be cleaned, allowed to cool, and then placed in airtight bags.
As you want to eat them, they can be defrosted and optionally reheated in the microwave, skillet, or stove.
