Description

Despite their French name, marrons glacés are thought to have originated in Piedmont after crusaders brought sugar back with them to Europe. These candied chestnuts have become a firm favourite all around the world, particularly during the Christmas season. So, who better to trust in creating the ultimate soft, sweet, moist and vanilla-laced marrons glacés than one of Piedmont's finest confectioners? Enjoy this box of individually-wrapped Venchi creations with a brandy or Tawny Port over the festive period, or with a coffee or cheeseboard at absolutely any time of the year. Silviano Venchi started to make chocolate and confectionery at the tender age of sixteen back in the 1800s. His little shop in the city of Cuneo in Piedmont became renowned for the jewels he created using only the highest quality ingredients. The Venchi company was officially founded in 1878 and is now much loved in 70 countries throughout the world, from London to Hong Kong and from Dubai to New York. This ever-growing empire continues its meteoric rise with stores planned for China and Japan, but Venchi has never lost sight of its founder's passion and artistry.
