What makes chestnut puree and paste valuable for industry?
Aydın chestnuts have a naturally creamy texture and balanced sweetness, which translates extremely well into puree and paste formats. These preparations allow manufacturers to easily integrate chestnut flavor into desserts, pastries, gelato, ready meals and confectionery without additional processing steps.
Purees are typically low in sugar and used as a neutral base. Pastes contain more sugar and are selected for rich dessert and confectionery applications.
Common industrial applications
Chestnut purees and pastes fit into several high-value product categories:
- Dessert fillings and pastries: mont blanc, cakes, tart fillings, seasonal specialties.
- Gelato and ice cream: smooth incorporation into cold mixes with minimal graininess.
- Ready meals and savory dishes: purees add creaminess to soups, sauces and poultry stuffing.
- Confectionery: praline fillings, coated bites, chocolate creams.
Industrial users value the consistent texture and predictable flavor that refined chestnut preparations provide.
Key specifications bulk buyers define
- Brix level: • Purees: typically 6–14° Brix • Pastes: 30–60° Brix depending on sugar
- Texture & particle size: most manufacturers request a fine, smooth grind (300–500 microns or below) to avoid graininess.
- Color consistency: light beige to medium brown, kept stable across batches.
- Moisture content: impacts microbiology, shelf life and handling during production.
Bulk packaging formats
- 1–5 kg vacuum pouches for bakeries and pastry shops
- 10–20 kg aseptic bags for gelato, dessert fillings and industrial lines
- Large drums or pails for continuous production systems
Low-sugar purees may require chilled or frozen storage, depending on the specification.
What buyers typically clarify before ordering
- Intended application — determines Brix level and texture requirements.
- Annual quantity and delivery schedule — chestnut processing is seasonal.
- Certifications needed: organic, additive-free, allergen statements.
- Preferred packaging format for production efficiency.
