Agrimontana: The Art of the Marron Glacé - a Symbol of Piedmontese Excellence
An icon of Italian indulgence, the marron glacé has embodied culinary refinement since the 16th century. While its origin is debated between France and Italy, it is in Piedmont — the birthplace of Agrimontana — that this tradition has found its most exquisite expression.
Since 1972, Agrimontana has perpetuated this heritage by elevating the Marrone della Valle di Susa I.G.P., a prestigious chestnut variety renowned for its delicate flesh, elegant shape, and naturally sweet flavor. Each chestnut is hand-picked, slowly candied in a syrup infused with natural vanilla, and then glazed with meticulous craftsmanship that combines patience, precision, and passion.
An Exceptional Treat — to Offer or to Savour
As the emblem of the brand, the Agrimontana marron glacé is presented in elegant packaging — from intimate tasting boxes to refined gift cases. Protected in a controlled atmosphere, they preserve all the freshness and subtlety of the fruit, as if they had just left the atelier.
Alongside the marrons glacés, the collection also includes marrons confits and chestnut cream, offering a full exploration of this noble fruit’s aromatic richness — at once comforting and festive.
