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.

A Story of Passion and Terroir

The Agrimontana marron glacé is more than a confection — it is the result of uncompromising standards:

  • Rigorous selection of chestnuts from the finest groves in Piedmont

  • Artisan techniques preserving the tender texture and authentic flavor

  • Natural recipes free from additives or preservatives, honoring the purity of the fruit

Italian Elegance at the Heart of the Holidays

Whether enjoyed during festive celebrations or offered as a refined gift, the Agrimontana marron glacé embodies a true Italian art of living — where time and nature together dictate perfection.
