Chestnuts are a very temperature sensitive product and should be stored at temperatures around 0° C. Unlike the other nuts, chestnuts must be stored as a fresh product like carrots.
If not stored at the right temperature the chestnuts will show very quickly external mould, sprouting and weight loss.
At the right temperature the shelf life of chestnuts can reach several weeks and up to 4-6 months in dedicated coldstores.
