The Magic of Chestnuts
Candied chestnuts have a long and rich history, dating back to the Ottoman Empire, where it was considered a delicacy reserved for royalty and the wealthy. Chestnuts have been a staple food for centuries, and their sweet, nutty flavor has made them a popular ingredient in a variety of sweets.
Bursa, a city in northwestern Turkey, is particularly famous for its chestnuts; chestnut candy is a beloved local specialty. The city’s ideal climate and soil conditions make it the perfect place for growing high-quality chestnuts, and its long history of chestnut cultivation has made it a center of excellence for chestnut production.
One thing that sets Hafiz Mustafa Candied Chestnuts apart is the quality of the chestnuts we use. We source our chestnuts from local producers and only use the freshest and highest quality chestnuts available. We mainly choose white chestnuts that have not been rained on, as they have a sweeter flavor and a more appealing texture. In the market, chestnuts are usually brown, but we believe that our choice of white chestnuts is what sets our candies apart.
Another thing that makes our chestnut candy special is our care and attention to the production process. We don’t use glucose syrup, preferring to pack our candy as close to organic as possible. We also choose to package our candy in glass jars, as they are a more environmentally friendly option and help preserve the chestnuts’ quality and flavor.
Our chestnut candy comes in two sizes, 500gr, and 800gr, each with a unique twist on the classic flavor. Our commitment to quality and attention to detail sets us apart from other chestnut candies. We take pride in using only the freshest, highest-quality ingredients and supporting local producers.
If you are a fan of chestnuts and looking for a sweet and delicious treat, we invite you to try Hafiz Mustafa Candied Chestnuts. We are confident that you will love our unique flavors and appreciate the care and attention that goes into each and every batch.

When a ripe chestnut is pressed, the hull is less taut, and there is a slight “give” between the flesh and the fruit. Raw chestnuts are composed of 60% water, and 100 grams contain 44 grams of carbohydrates, 2 grams of protein, and 1 gram of fat, providing 200 calories.
