Its main component is Castanea Sativa Mill, a highly nutritious chestnut fruit, approximately the size of a walnut and covered with a thick, leathery, dark brown shell.
When autumn arrives we collect the best chestnuts in Galicia and the Bierzo Valley.
They are usually smaller in size, more difficult to peel, but are much sweeter than those of other origins.
We carry out a calibration and a fire peeling that removes all the skin.
With them Arotz elaborates succulent products from chestnuts, such as natural chestnut puree, sweet creams, or vacuum cooked.

Tips for Use
Our main ingredient in this puree is Castanea Sativa Mill, the nutritious fruit of the chestnut tree, similar in size to a walnut and with a thick, leathery, dark brown shell. In autumn, we select the best chestnuts from Galicia and the Bierzo Valley. Although they tend to be smaller and more difficult to peel compared to those from other regions, they are noticeably sweeter. We carry out a meticulous process of calibration and fire peeling to completely remove the skin. With these chestnuts, in Arotz we create delicious sub-products, such as our natural chestnut puree, sweet creams and vacuum cooked chestnuts.
