Our values

HIGHEST STANDARDS

Selection of  our ingredients is stringent: all our fruit is of controlled origin, from Turin or Naples. We only select products of the highest quality for our ingredients: sugar, MGO-free wheat glucose and genuine Bourbon-Madagascar vanilla beans.
True to our ancestors’ recipe, we process our candied and syrup chestnuts  in tulle muslin. In this process the raw chestnuts are wrapped in pairs in muslin. This keeps the fruit whole and prevents excessive absorption of sugar to preserve flavour.

QUALITY

All the members of our team share the same attention to detail, from the choice of ingredients to precision in the production process to the visual appearance of our final product.
Our engineers also perform quality checks and ensure perfect traceability. Throughout the production process, diagrams and batch numbers guarantee the tracking of our products. Samples from each batch are stored in our sampling bank.
