Häufige Fragen zu Marroni

When are fresh chestnuts available?
Chestnuts are harvested in the fall. Therefore, we only carry the Martaínha during the winter season, as long as the supply from the current harvest lasts.

What does DOP Soutos da Lapa mean?
DOP stands for "Denominação de Origem Protegida", the protected designation of origin. Only chestnuts from the designated region and approved varieties may bear the name "Castanha dos Soutos da Lapa". The Martaínha comes from Sernancelhe, in the heart of this region.

How long do fresh chestnuts last?
If stored correctly, around two months. Keep them cool at 2–5 °C and dry, preferably in the refrigerator in a linen bag or box. Never in plastic: This leads to condensation and thus to mold.

What is the shipping cost for the chestnuts?
Within Switzerland from CHF 7. Shipping is free for orders over CHF 250.
