I do enjoy vacuumed chestnuts because I love chestnuts in all forms. I'd never buy the ones sold in our markets , they are never fresh. But a couple of years ago I found a brand of chestnuts of consistent great quality. We enjoy them freshly roasted and salted during winter, served along wine, cheeses fruits and often a caramel dipping sauce. Whatever is leftover goes to the freezer. Haven't bought them in vacuum since (also it's much more economical).
The sauce by the way is intended for gnocchi where it makes a great hearty winter dish. Ravioli is an OK substitute, a bit lighter which I guess better suits the quickly warming weather.
