European Chestnuts for UK Manufacturers

Versatile and full of flavour, chestnut ingredients are the perfect staple for food manufacturers and food services. Brusco Food Group not only supply chestnuts to food manufacturers and food service, but also to retail.

Chestnuts are synonymous with Christmas in the UK, being used over the festive period in stuffing mixes or to flavour sides dishes. Whereas across Europe and Asia, they are used more regularly as part of a weekly diet.

What are Chestnut Ingredients Used For?

Chestnuts provide flavour and texture to stews, pasta, and puddings, but they are also the ultimate ingredient for plant-based creations such as risottos and soups.

Naturally sweet in flavour, they also work perfectly in desserts, ice cream or in pureed form mixed with alcohol such as rum or kirsch.

Sustainability icon

Sustainability Strategy

Chestnuts fruit after 5-7 years, so our supplier grafts and replants more chestnut trees after harvesting.

Why Brusco?

Many competitors use chestnuts from the Far East which at times fail to deliver on flavour and appearance. Our chestnuts are from Europe, with our whole chestnuts being from Italy. This offers a better tasting and plumper textured chestnut which delivers on quality every time.
