This seductive autumn fruit hidden behind a prickly shell has been used by humans since prehistoric times. The stories about the healing and nutritive properties of the fruit have been transferred from generation to generation for centuries. Thousands of kilos of the healthiest sweet chestnuts arrive to Vincek each autumn...
From its very beginnings, Vincek has been making its own chestnut puree and was the first small producer that did so. Vincek today has a large plant for the production of chestnut fruit in which only sugar is added in the end - or not, if the buyer wishes so. By using controlled procedures, the fruit is processed to make chestnut puree, which is then carefully preserved and used in the preparation of various sweet delicacies all year round.
During chestnut season, you can enjoy a special treat - freshly made chestnut puree with cream. Cakeries sell 0.5 kg and 1 kg frozen chestnut puree blocks, both sweetened and unsweetened. Processed chestnuts are high in nutritive value. They are rich in carbohydrates and low in protein and fat. They are an excellent source of trace elements, minerals that humans require in very small amounts, vitamins B and C, and are a great source of potassium and folic acid.
