Forward The history of Corsiglia is one of passion and tradition inherited from generation to generation. As early as 1870, André Corsiglia becomes his uncle s apprentice, Giovanni Batista Raffetto, who is Master Confectioner, established in New York City. After an American debut, he comes back to Europe and, in 1896, decides Marseille will be where he will lay the first foundation of his firm. To this day, his heirs have been keeping his traditional expertise alive. The family is committed to the high standards and respect for tradition to be carried on, offering the best French marrons glacés for generations of gourmets to enjoy. The special care given to the origin of selected products, the authenticity of the produce in use, the respect of tradition and traditional methods of confection have made the Corsiglia house a quality reference for the Marrons Glacés.

A family, history, values 1986 Jean s son, Jean-Louis, born after World War II, works during his spare time at the factory, but soon his enthusiasm for the product catches. At the age of nineteen, he plays a major role in actively developing the business. Very soon, Corsiglia s Marrons become a reference in the industry and are to be found in the best stores. His taste for innovation leads him to create a special vacuum-packed system to consistently deliver, fresh, moist and fully-flavoured marrons glacés anywhere around the world. He and his wife Daniele make a good team, with Daniel a hard-working and determined supporter of her husband in the management of staff and the purchasing department. Vellum arrivast 1896 Born in Italy in 1855, Giovanni Battista Raffetto emigrates to New York City at the age of 22. He opens his first store on the corner of 8th avenue and 35th street and launches the Marrons in syrup. Early success allows him to move to a new and more comfortable location on 13th street in 1890. With a solid reputation for high-quality products, he supplies the best hotels in New York City. His wife, Nicoletta Corsiglia joins him in his production of marrons glacés and encourages her nephew, André Corsiglia to work in their factory where his uncle trains him for several years. After a short stay in Brussels, André settles in Marseille (France) in 1896 and is the first to introduce the production of Marrons Glacés in France. 1992 The fourth generation, Christophe and Stéphanie are totally immersed in this deeplyrooted family passion. Christophe is in charge of the company s organisation and Stéphanie deals with new business development. 1925 Jean and Louis join the family business in 1925 with their wives as partners. Louis is responsible for glazing and business. Jean is in charge of the selection of fruits and other ingredients. Mrs Louis manages exports and Mrs Jean acts as an accountant and administrative manager. 2014 This year s event has been the arrival of Alexandre Corsiglia, a 6th generation family member who undoubtedly will impart renewed dynamics to the business. crédit photo Flx 04 05
Our Traditional Method of Confection 1 Our expertise begins when we select the chestnuts. The harvesting season is in October and November. The chestnuts are picked up by hand in the most beautiful Italian forests. 2 After taking away the chestnut husks, the chestnuts are soaked in water for nine days. Imperfect fruits rise to the surface and are discarded. The others are stored in cool cellars for a while to dry a little. 3 In line with our traditional method we remove the peel with great care. The chestnuts are incised and boiled in order to take off the outer peel mechanically. The chestnuts are examined with great care in and rid of the tiny skins caught in the wrinkles of the fruit. 6 Finally, the Marrons are drained, taken out of their wrapping, laid on a tray or put in tin boxes, according to their size and colour. 7 4 After a night s rest, the Marron glacé is ready to be wrapped in its golden foil. Afterwards, the Marrons are wrapped in muslin pieces, two by two in order to limit excessive absorption of sugar. The Marrons are then boiled in water. 06 Glazing is the coating of the Marrons with a thin layer of glazed sugar. A few seconds in an oven are enough to solidify the glazed sugar to protect its shine and keep the syrup deep in the Marrons Glacés. 5 Next, they are seeped for seven to ten days in a syrup made of sugar, glucose, Bourbon vanilla pods, according to our ancient French craftsmanship. Candying by Corsiglia consists in delicately replacing the water inside the fruit with the right quantity of syrup. 07
