MARRONS GLACES D'AUBENAS started just before the First World War when Gustave Imbert joined his forces with a pastry-maker in Aubenas called Contassot.

Together, they decided to make marron confit and thus marron glacé.
In 1920, just after the war, the MARRONS GLACES D'AUBENAS company was officially founded.

Very soon, Gustave IMBERT bought out the shares of his partner, and the company became known as MARRONS-IMBERT.

In the twenties, the company was already making marrons glacés of course but also chestnut based products such as chestnut spread.

In 1950, at the death of Gustave IMBERT, Maurice, his son, took over the company.
His perfectionism drove the company through the second half of the twentieth century while upholding traditional production methods.

Since 1998, Stéphanie NOGIER-IMBERT, the great-granddaughter of the founder, Gustave, the 4th generation, manages the company with her husband, Alexandre NOGIER.

Our company prides itself on selecting the best fruits for the production of its chestnut preserves or marrons glacés.

Today, approximately 800 tonnes of chestnuts and marrons are used in the production of chestnut paste, chestnut purée, chestnut spread, Marrons glacés.
