Ora et Labora Chestnut Cream – Spanish Spread 300g

Ora et Labora's chestnut cream is a quietly luxurious spread that tastes like autumn in a jar. Made from roasted Spanish chestnuts, it arrives as a velvety paste—neither too thick nor runny—ready to be spooned onto toast, swirled into yogurt, or layered into pastries. The brand's monastic heritage (the name means "pray and work") carries through in the simplicity of the recipe: chestnuts and little else.

About this product

Chestnuts have fed the Spanish countryside for centuries, particularly in Galicia and Asturias where the trees thrive in cool mountain soil. This cream captures that tradition without affectation. Each spoonful reveals a faintly sweet, nutty depth—roasted but not charred, earthy without bitterness. It pairs wonderfully with aged hard cheeses, or simply with a crumb of sourdough and a pinch of sea salt.

How to enjoy

• Spread on warm toast with a drizzle of honey and sea salt
• Swirl into Greek yogurt or soft cheese for a dessert
• Layer into croissants or puff pastry before baking
• Pair with Manchego or aged Idiazabal cheese on a board
• Stir into warm milk or coffee for a Spanish-style cream

⭐ Why we love this

This is Spanish mountain tradition distilled into simplicity—Ora et Labora's monastic philosophy means no unnecessary ingredients, just roasted chestnuts delivering authentic depth. Chestnut cream is a forgotten treasure of Spanish gastronomy, beloved in Galicia and Asturias where these trees have sustained communities for centuries.

🍷 Pairing suggestion

Pair this with a glass of oloroso sherry or a crisp Albariño—the sherry's nutty warmth echoes the chestnuts beautifully. For food, serve alongside aged Manchego or Idiazabal cheese on a slate board, or spread on toasted Pa de Cristal with a drizzle of Arbequina olive oil.
