Chestnut puree from Tuscan artisan Maria Grazia La Porta.

L'Antica Drogheria jams and preserves are made in the mountains between Bologna and Florence by Maria Grazia La Porta. All of the jams are made from locally picked fruits and are produced in small batches. Maria Grazia concentrates the flavors by cooking them a touch longer. Without exception, they are intensely flavorful without being overly sweet.

If you're a chestnut lover, you can just smell how good this creamy spread is going to taste. The high-quality marroni chestnuts used to make this decadent puree are as sweet and smooth as any we've ever eaten. And this Crema di Marroni just cries out to be spooned over ice cream or made into a glaze for chocolate cake. That is, if you don't eat it out of the jar first.
