In Turkey, Sekerci Castanea cultivar is of excellent quality. Of oblong shape, with a reddish colored epicarp (skin) that is shiny with dense, often raised stripes and small semi rectangular shaped hilar scar. Large sized marrons are not divided, have a sweet flavour, with the kernel itself free of hollows and easily separable from the episperm (pellicle); it protects the seed and is only superficially attached to the nut which makes it easily removable, by mechanical means, also thereby easing the industrial processing.

Our chestnuts are cultivated throughout the Aydin and Denizli region especially in the mountainous areas where they are one of the few crops that can grown on steep slopes, as well as produce during colder winter months. In some of the more mountainous areas, the economy revolves around the chestnut, as people gathers them in the fall, and works throughout the winter to sort, dry and sell them.
