Loads of people are involved in getting those ches

Loads of people are involved in getting those chestnuts to your roasting pans. Some pick, some grade, some haul and some sell. This is Taneisha from Buffalo Creek Chestnuts. She was busy making sure that each chestnut sent out is perfect so each of you can have the best experience.

Do you know what a cooked chestnut should look like? It should be delicious looking 😂 Ok, if you need us to be more specific, remember these three points. Yellow, uniform in colour and have a sweet, buttery aroma. That's a great chestnut right there.

This may look like something from the future but it's actually a key piece of equipment for some of our chestnut growers. It's used to collect the chestnuts so they can be prepared for sale. A lot better than touching these prickly fellas by hand!

LA FIERA! The rain didn’t stop the crowds descending on Myrtleford for the annual @lafieraitalianfestival There was music, wine, plenty of food and - most importantly - CHESTNUTS! 🌰 Thanks to our troupe of tireless volunteers, Chestnuts Australia hosts a stand here every year, selling fresh nuts and roasting hot ones that get gobbled up faster than we can cook ‘em! This year we sold almost ONE TONNE (950kg) of nuts across the weekend - that’s our biggest year yet! We loved seeing all you chestnut lovers and we’re already looking forward to next year 🇮🇹 ❤️ 🌰

What's the secret to perfect chestnuts? KEEP THEM

What's the secret to perfect chestnuts? KEEP THEM IN THE FRIDGE. It's that simple. Chestnuts store like fresh produce, not like other nuts. So think of them as carrots and keep them in the fridge at ALL TIMES until you're ready to cook.

Check out this fantastic video from @stylemyplate showing you how she prepares her delicious chestnuts by first boiling THEN roasting. This is a great way to make them even easier to peel. Have you tried it?

🌰 CHESTNUT ARANCINI BALLS 🌰 Prep time 40 min

🌰 CHESTNUT ARANCINI BALLS 🌰
Prep time 40 mins + cooling – Cooking time 40 mins – Serves 6 as finger food
Ingredients
500g chestnuts, cooked and peeled
1 1⁄2 cups Arborio rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1.25L vegetable stock
1 brown onion
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1⁄2 teaspoon allspice
2 cups fine breadcrumbs
2 cups sunflower oil
Method
1. Heat olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan on medium.
2. Chop the onion very finely and add to the oil. Sautee until softened and slightly golden. About 5-7 minutes.
3. Add minced garlic and continue stirring for a further minute until fragrant.
4. Add rice to the saucepan and stir, coating well.
5. Meanwhile, place the stock in another saucepan and bring to a gentle simmer. Once hot, add a ladle-full to the rice mixture and stir. From here it will need to be stirred constantly until done.
6. As each ladle-full is absorbed into the rice, add another and continue stirring until the rice is cooked and has taken on a creamy, risotto-like texture. The amount of stock used to achieve this may vary but ensure all liquid has evaporated and the rice is soft before turning off the heat.
7. Stir in allspice and chopped chestnuts. Season with salt and pepper. Place risotto mixture in a bowl to cool then refrigerate until cooled completely.
8. Remove risotto from fridge. Fill a shallow bowl with breadcrumbs. Take heaped teaspoons of the risotto mixture, roll into balls and then toss in breadcrumbs.
9. In a large frying pan, heat the sunflower oil on medium. It is ready when a piece of bread turns golden in about 30 seconds. Fry each ball for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side. It should look browned on the outside and be warmed through in the middle. Season with a little salt and pepper. Serve with creamy aioli.

We love CHESTNUTS! Whether they’re roasting on a fire or have just fallen to the ground, we get excited about them at every stage. Who’s roasting chestnuts this weekend?

Do you know what to look for when selecting a ches

Do you know what to look for when selecting a chestnut? They should be glossy, firm and heavy for their size. We don’t want those dull, dry ones! A chestnut should feel cold, so you know it’s been stored in the fridge. They should never feel dry like a walnut or hazelnut would. Look for that satin brown shiny shell and you won’t go wrong!

Could this be the best way to prepare chestnuts at

Could this be the best way to prepare chestnuts at home? @eveganrecipes thinks so and we are pretty impressed! Here’s their video and what they had to say about chestnut memories in Japan! ⬇️ ⬇️ ⬇️
During our family visit to Japan (pre-Covid) it was fascinating to experience the freshly roasted chestnuts 🌰 as a street food. The guy was roasting them on a little rustic cart with burning charcoal. Obsessed with roasted chestnuts since then but took me a few trials to figure out the perfect way with the modern kitchen appliance called the ‘oven’ 😊
Chestnut season in Australia, so here they are! The trick is to boil them for 3 minutes before roasting for 15 minutes in a preheated oven at 180C . They are perfect in softness and taste fantastic!
Also peeling the two layers is a lot easier when they’re still hot.

SAY CHEESE 📸 Do you know what we call this? When the chestnut just peeks out of its burr, before it’s ready to drop? The industry affectionately calls them SMILES 😃 See how it’s kind of smiling at you? 😉
