About Chestnut spread

Chestnut spread is a smooth or softly textured preparation made primarily from chestnuts, often served on bread or used in desserts. Many versions are sweetened, but the name alone does not establish a recipe or whether it is sweet or savory.

It is usually tan to brown and has a dense, creamy consistency with a mild, earthy, nut-like chestnut flavour. Products can differ in chestnut content, sweetness, added fats, and texture, and should not be assumed to be plain chestnut purée.
