Origin
MONIN Chestnut syrup delivers the subtle, light flavour of this traditional winter nut.
Harvested from October to March, the chestnut is roasted to provide a warming, sweet snack with a festive association, as featured in the classic Christmas song “Chestnuts roasting on an open fire…” sung by Nat King Cole.
Chestnuts are used in both savoury and sweet recipes to make bread, as a festive stuffing for vegetables and meat, and candied to make the popular French confectionery ‘marron glacé’.
Indulge your festive fancies and create soothing winter warmers by adding MONIN Chestnut to coffees, milk drinks and dessert cocktails. Recreate a roasted chestnut flavour by adding Caramel syrup.
