IQF Frozen Fruit & Zest

Chestnut

France, Spain, Portugal

Maison Ponthier has carefully selected chestnuts from French, Spanish and Portuguese chestnut groves, regions historically renowned for the quality of their produce. These regions offer ideal natural conditions – forest soils, controlled humidity, traditional harvesting methods – allowing the fruit to develop its full aromatic richness.

Harvested at full maturity, the chestnuts are rigorously sorted, then delicately prepared before being frozen. This process preserves their tender texture, subtle taste and beautiful golden brown colour. Their consistent quality guarantees optimal use in both sweet and savoury dishes.

With no additives or preservatives, these ready-to-use chestnuts are perfect for garnishes, purées, stuffings, festive desserts, ice creams and confectionery. A raw, authentic and natural product, designed to meet the creativity and high standards of gastronomy professionals.
