Clement Faugier chestnut flour 1kg

This French chestnut flour by Clement Faugier is a versatile ingredient made from dried and ground chestnuts. The process involves harvesting ripe chestnuts, drying them to reduce moisture, roasting for better flavour and peeling, and finally grinding into a fine, silky grey flour.

The flour has a nutty, slightly sweet taste, making it great for both savoury and sweet dishes. It’s rich in fibre, gluten-free, and perfect for baking, thickening sauces, or as a base for hearty soups. Chestnut flour can add a rustic touch to pancakes, bread, and pasta. It also works well in traditional desserts like chestnut cake and shortcrust pastry, highlighting its rich, earthy essence. Corsican cooking often relies on this essential ingredient.

Clement Faugier is based in the charming town of Privas in the Ardèche region of France, a place renowned for its chestnut cultivation and culinary traditions.
