This iconic sweet chestnut spread has been made to the original 1885 recipe of Clement Faugier, using only the finest Ardèche chestnuts, slow‑cooked with sugar and vanilla to create a luxuriously smooth, rich purée.
Beloved in France and beyond, it’s a versatile indulgence — swirl into yoghurt, layer between sponge cakes, spoon over ice cream, or spread thickly on warm toast. It’s also the essential base for the classic Mont Blanc dessert, where it’s paired with clouds of whipped cream.
Often imitated but never matched, this is the authentic Crème de Marrons de l’Ardèche, crafted with the same care and tradition for over a century.
