Frequently Asked Questions (Google's Top Searches)

What is the difference between the Green Can and the Red/White Can?

The Green Can contains 100% unsweetened chestnut puree (just chestnuts and water). The classic white-and-red packaging contains sweetened chestnut cream (Crème de Marrons), which is blended with sugar, glucose syrup, and vanilla. Choose the green can if you are cooking savory dishes or want control over how much sugar goes into your dessert recipes.

How do you use unsweetened chestnut puree in cooking?

Because it is unsweetened and neutral, it is extraordinarily versatile:

• Savory: Fold into poultry stuffings, blend into warm autumn soups (with butternut squash or leeks), or use as a base for game meat sauces.

• Sweet: Whip it with cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract to create quick Mont-Blanc toppings, sweet dessert mousses, or baking batters.

Is Clement Faugier Chestnut Puree gluten-free and vegan?

Yes. The ingredient list is completely natural and free from wheat, dairy, or animal by-products, making it naturally gluten-free and vegan-friendly.

How should I store the puree after opening?

Because this green version contains no sugar or artificial preservatives, it should be transferred out of the metal tin into an airtight, non-metallic container and kept in the refrigerator. Consume within 3 to 5 days, or freeze in small portions for up to 3 months.

Do I need to cook or heat the chestnut puree before using it?

No. The chestnuts are fully cooked and pureed prior to canning. You can use it straight from the tin at room temperature, mix it cold into dessert recipes, or heat it directly into hot dishes like soups, stuffings, and purees.
