Clement Faugier Chestnut Spread 250g [Made in France]
This delectable spread is a favourite in France. It is excellent on toast and because of its thick and smooth texture, it also goes well with ice cream or yoghurt. Some use it in place of chestnut puree to make a mont blanc (a French dessert made of pureed chestnuts and whipped cream, often on a meringue base). Of course, you may also find yourself eating it straight from the jar. Once widespread in France, chestnut trees, or chataigniers, are now becoming scarce as land has been given over to more profitable crops like grapes. Today the number of regions producing chestnuts has dwindled – Ardeche, Corsica, and limousin are now the principal producers of chestnuts.

Clément Faugier rhymes with Chestnut spread/cream for all French people. A must have staple at home. Ideally with Crepes, yogurt for example
