Cuevas Marron Glaces

Candied Couture

CanĀ­didĀ­ed chestĀ­nuts from Cuevas take 240 hours of dedĀ­iĀ­caĀ­tion in order to attain excelĀ­lence in its MarĀ­ron GlacĆ© ClasĀ­sic offers. Select from the botĀ­tled variĀ­ant or giftĀ­box variant.

TASTĀ­ING NOTES FROM THE CURATOR

ChestĀ­nuts roastĀ­ing on an open fire, that’s the traĀ­diĀ­tionĀ­al image of a treat on a snowy day. MarĀ­ron glaces — canĀ­died chestĀ­nuts — are the quinĀ­tesĀ­senĀ­tial holĀ­iĀ­day treat. The nuts are cooked in syrup to about 73 – 75ĀŗC, givĀ­ing them texĀ­ture simĀ­iĀ­lar to a dried apriĀ­cot or prune, with a mild sweetĀ­ness and nutĀ­tiĀ­ness simĀ­iĀ­lar to sweet potatoes. 

PREPAĀ­RAĀ­TION OR PAIRINGS

The traĀ­diĀ­tionĀ­al way to eat marĀ­ron glaces is straight out of the box, with a warm cup of mediĀ­um-bodĀ­ied black tea at your side, like DarĀ­jeelĀ­ing or our Gryphon Earl Grey Loose Leaf Tea.

MarĀ­ron glaces can be used in difĀ­ferĀ­ent desserts, too. Chop marĀ­ron glaces into your sugĀ­ar cookĀ­ie dough or add them to your banana bread batĀ­ter. If you’d preĀ­fer someĀ­thing simĀ­pler after a decaĀ­dent dinĀ­ner, place a few pieces on your vanilĀ­la ice cream. Up your cream cheese game with honĀ­ey and canĀ­died chestĀ­nuts on top, with crackĀ­ers or toastĀ­ed pita bread on the side. For canapes, load a crackĀ­er with Brie, a bit of pancetta or bacon, and place one marĀ­ron glacĆ© right on top. FanĀ­cy a ChristĀ­mas mornĀ­ing treat? Chop up some canĀ­died chestĀ­nuts and sprinĀ­kle a bit of cinĀ­naĀ­mon into your breakĀ­fast oatmeal.

A VERĀ­SAILLES TREAT

When cruĀ­saders returned from the Holy Lands, they brought sugĀ­ar back with them. Once they returned to southĀ­ern France, cooks startĀ­ed incorĀ­poĀ­ratĀ­ing sugĀ­ar into their desserts — parĀ­ticĀ­uĀ­larĀ­ly the local chestĀ­nuts. One of the earĀ­liĀ­est menĀ­tions of marĀ­ron glaces comes from the court of Louis XIV in 16th-cenĀ­tuĀ­ry France. The treat was popĀ­uĀ­larĀ­ized by the opuĀ­lent monarch and all his courtiers. They fell out of fashĀ­ion shortĀ­ly after the French RevĀ­oĀ­luĀ­tion but by the 1800s, marĀ­ron glaces had reemerged as a comĀ­merĀ­cialĀ­ly availĀ­able treat.

Storage Instructions

Store your canĀ­died treat in a cool, dry place. Do not allow the fruit to become frozen. If you must transĀ­fer it out of its origĀ­iĀ­nal packĀ­agĀ­ing, place it in an airĀ­tight tin.
