HERO Sweetened Chestnut Puree is a smooth, ready-to-use chestnut preparation made with 68% chestnuts. Produced in Switzerland from selected Italian marrons, it offers a rich, earthy chestnut flavour with balanced sweetness and a dense, almost creamy texture. The professional 900 g format is ideal for pastry kitchens, bakeries, restaurants and ambitious home bakers.

Smooth, Balanced Chestnut Flavour

The chestnuts are carefully peeled, ground, cooked and sweetened to create a consistent puree without the preparation required when working from whole chestnuts. Its smooth texture makes it easy to incorporate into creams, mousses, fillings and frozen desserts while delivering a distinctive chestnut flavour throughout the recipe.

Depending on the application, the puree can be used as supplied or blended with ingredients such as cream, butter, chocolate, vanilla, coffee, pear, rum or brandy to adjust its texture and flavour.

Suggested Applications

Use HERO Sweetened Chestnut Puree for:

• Mont Blanc and chestnut vermicelli
• Chestnut mousse, cream and crémeux
• Cake, tart and entremet fillings
• Swiss rolls, sponge cakes and pound cakes
• Croissants and laminated pastries
• Ice cream, gelato and frozen desserts
• Cheesecakes and plated desserts
• Seasonal autumn and holiday pastries

Because the puree is already sweetened, it provides a convenient starting point for dessert production. Adjust the additional sugar in your recipe as needed.

Ready-to-Use Professional Format

HERO Sweetened Chestnut Puree provides reliable flavour and texture from batch to batch while eliminating the need to peel, cook and grind whole chestnuts. It can be stored without refrigeration while unopened, making it a practical pantry ingredient for professional pastry production.
