chestnut quintessence

Chestnut quintessence encapsulates the strength and complexity of wild chestnut blooms.

Although floral in origin, it shares characteristics with honeydew honeys and is naturally rich in minerals. It is distinguished by its intense amber color with reddish hues and slow crystallization.

On the nose, it releases scents of dried chamomile and tannic, animal, and cinchona notes; on the palate, it reveals a bold and slightly bitter taste, with hints of wood, tobacco, carob, and cocoa bean.

Packaged in 200g.

Chestnut quintessence pairs well with fresh or aged cheeses, from ricotta to parmesan, and even with bloomy or washed rinds. It can be used in pumpkin tortelli filling and to accompany foie gras or smoked foods. When warmed, it adds balance and depth to fruit mousses and ricotta-based creams.
