    Not sure if it's the same thing but I got sweetened chestnut purée in Superquinn in Ballinteer. You could try The Gourmet Shop in Rathgar. I'd be surprised if he didn't have it.

    By the way I spotted tins of this (chestnut purée) in Dunnes last night for €2.99. I'd never heard of it til I read this thread yesterday :D

    ill elaborate, chocolate logs are nice with fresh cream and jam filling bit incredible with clement faugier chesnut spread. try it yourself with a normal xmas chocolate log recipe from the internet but substitute the filling with the chesnut.

    i asked in dunnes in arklow but the food manager looked at me like i had 2 heads, ill try rathmines tomorrow. €2.99 is a very good price. the gourmet shop was a lot more expensive than that

    I think you'll probably only get it in the bigger supermarkets. The bigger Superquinns are probably your best chance. I got a 500g tin of Epicure puree for €2.79, not sure how that compares with what you paid.
