Description

Storage: Keep in a cool place

Preparation and cooking: To peel chestnuts, soak them in water for 30 minutes, then score each with a small knife down the plump side. Roast in a very hot oven for around25 minutes. Keep warm with a tea towel while you peel away the hard outer shell and the softer inner brown skin (warm nuts peel more easily than cold ones).

Faster method: slit the rounded shell of the nut, bring to the boil in plenty of cold water and cook for 20 minutes. Leave the nuts in the hot water so that they stay warm and soft as you peel them.

Cooked Vacuum Packed: To preserve all of their delicious flavour and texture, these Whole Chestnuts are roasted, peeled, and vacuum-packed. Ready prepared to be added to a variety savoury and sweet dishes.
