Angelina Chestnut Cream is a unique blend of sweet and creamy flavors. The chestnuts provide a nutty flavor that is complemented by the subtle notes of Madagascar vanilla beans. The cream has an incredibly smooth texture that melts in your mouth with each bite. It can be enjoyed on its own or used as an ingredient in many desserts such as Mont-Blanc or meringue pies.

Angelina Chestnut Cream pairs well with yogurt, ice cream, whipped cream or even spread like jam on toast for breakfast. It can also be used to make delicious cakes, tarts or other pastries. For a special treat, try pairing it with fresh fruits such as strawberries or raspberries for a delightful dessert experience.

A Long Tradition Extending Over Nearly 120 Years…

Let’s go back to the 1900s when Paris blossomed both artistically and intellectually at an incredible rate. Writers, painters and politicians congregated in cafés and restaurants - as well as the tea rooms which were the latest place to be. In 1903, confectioner Anton Rumpelmayer founded Angelina with his son René - a tea house at No 226 Rue de Rivoli named after his daughter-in-law - which quickly became an institution frequented by elite Parisians including Marcel Proust and Coco Chanel. Today Parisians and tourists queue to taste the signature Mont-Blanc and famous hot chocolate “L’Africain”.
