FURİSAN Candied Chestnuts
Chestnuts, native to Anatolia, hold a special place in Turkish cuisine, both in dishes and desserts. Candied chestnuts are both a nostalgic dessert and a unique ingredient for modern pastry making. Prepared with the right production process, candied chestnuts add both flavor and aesthetic value to your desserts. They are a highly sought-after product, especially during the winter months. While harvesting and peeling chestnuts are largely mechanized today, cooking and candiing still require finesse and precision.
Every stage of FURİSAN candied chestnut production is meticulously handled.
Picking chestnuts at the right time is critical to preserving their flavor and texture. Therefore, suppliers are carefully selected. While shelling has become easier thanks to modern machinery, it's crucial to avoid damaging the chestnuts during this process. Sometimes, peeling is done manually.
Boiling and then candiing the chestnuts is one of the most delicate parts of the process. If these processes are not carried out with sufficient care, the chestnuts will crack and harden, darken in color, and the syrup will thicken. This negatively affects both appearance and flavor.
